Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what platforms currently exist for NHS England’s Integrated Care Systems to share best practice within (a) clinical practice, (b) pathway management and (c) the use of medical technology at (i) local, (ii) regional, and (iii) national levels; and if he will make a statement.

FutureNHS is an online collaboration platform which enables all health and social care professionals to connect through ‘workspaces’. These workspaces create a safe network of online communities to share knowledge and collaborate on projects. There are currently over 1,000 different workspaces across all 42 integrated care systems in clinical practice, pathway management and the use of medical technology.
