NEW WEBINAR

Getting It Write: What To Do Now That Patients in England Can Read Their GP Notes

11am Eastern Standard Time (EST) / 3pm Greenwich Mean Time (GMT)

In this webinar, we’ll be joined by open notes experts and discuss what this change means for patients and general practitioner (GP) staff in England.
