Shropshire, Telford and Wrekin Integrated Care System has signed Graphnet Health to deliver a shared care record and population health analytics platform.
This follows the formation of the body from its predecessor sustainable transformation partnership as part of NHS England’s creation of 13 new ICSs.
It will use Graphnet’s One Health and Care software as the basis for the platform, which will take in information from relevant organisations in the area serving a population of 1.6 million.
The shared care record will give health and care professionals secure access to a comprehensive and up-to-date record for the individuals in their care. Currently, local services hold separate pieces of information about individuals which is not easily accessible between different organisations.
THERE’S a very strange anomaly in Scottish democracy which needs addressed. The Alba Party was humiliated at the polls, and thoroughly rejected by voters. Yet the party has two sitting MPs and a clutch of councillors in office, who defected from the SNP. Alba’s cheerleaders told us ‘a storm was coming’. It didn’t even rain. Alba failed to register even 2% in the election – yet because of defections it has representatives in the House of Commons and Scottish councils. The two MPs are Kenny MacAskill and Neale Hanvey. The case around Hanvey is a little more complicated than MacAskill, who’s a straightforward defector from the SNP to Alba.
I HAVE no wish whatsoever for Scotland to become independent, however I have no doubt in my mind that a fair proportion of the Scottish population wishes it to be so. The last referendum was held using poorly-defined wording on the actual vote, and no clear timetable as to the lifetime on the decision of that vote; one generation is far too loose a definition. All sides in Scotland must sit down and agree on the voting procedures, in particular deciding the percentage of the vote, not just a straight first-past-the-post vote, required to decide the final outcome, and how long should pass before another referendum on independence is to be held.

A helpless farmer shot through the spine by robbers and left paralysed 20 years ago in South Africa was tied up in his wheelchair and cruelly strangled to death in a second attack.
Neil McKay, 46, was found by his distraught mother when she visited the farm in Winterton to check on him.
Widow Bev went upstairs and found her disabled son tied up in his wheelchair in his bedroom.
Police investigators said he had been strangled by his captors, who had been hiding close to the property, waiting for Neil to be alone.
