Digital Health and Care Wales

DHCW currently works with more than 100 live core systems that NHS Wales relies on every day for safer and more effective care.

The Welsh Clinical Portal (WCP) streamlines access to patients' digital health records in one place. This allows NHS health professionals access to up-to-date patient information from a number of sources, even when that information originates from different health care settings.

Did you know that an NHS number is the most reliable way to identify patients across systems, and the Quick Search feature in WCP makes this even easier?

If you're an NHS colleague, you can learn about WCP Patient Search and more through our On Demand Training Centre on SharePoint.

If you're a member of the public and you'd like to learn more about the WCP visit our website: https://dhcw.nhs.wales/product-directory/our-digital-services/welsh-clinical-portal/

A great example of collaboration in action. EPMA is made possible because of the collective effort across Health Boards and national teams - clinicians, digital, project and admin colleagues all pulling in the same direction 👏

We wanted to thank our colleagues working to implement Electronic Prescribing and Medicines Administration across our Health Board;

Nurses, doctors, pharmacists, digital teams, project and administrative staff, at CAV, DHCW and NerveCentre.

We are so grateful to our colleagues for their patience and professionalism, it wouldn't be possible without you!

On the 25 November the North Wales office in Mold held a cake sale in aid of the RNLI. Colleagues that joined were fortunate to have the company of two representatives from the RNLI station in Flint. They joined the team for a slice of cake, a catch-up and answered any questions. In total, the team raised £207 through cakes sales and raffle tickets.

Everyone from Media point would like to thank everybody that attended for their generous contributions to the day and all the money raised.
