CARE.DATA
NHS England have commissioned the Health and Social Care Information Centre (HSCIC) to create a system pulling together patient information from different sources, with the intention of improving health services. It will upload patient information from hospital and GP clinical systems. Whilst it will not include your name it will upload your date of birth, postcode, NHS number and gender along with some clinical information. Click here for more information or read this leaflet.
