Solent NHS Trust goes live with integrated sexual health self-service
As NHS services continue to adapt in response to COVID-19, Solent NHS Trust has become the first in the UK to go live with a system that will facilitate an integrated approach to remote provision of sexual health services.
Solent’s Personal Health Record (PHR), designed by healthcare IT provider Inform Health, will alleviate pressure on clinics and traditional methods of booking appointments via a telephony system. It will also provide holistic visibility over patient data, while empowering patients to self-manage their sexual health by registering on a secure website and creating their own patient record.
