Royal Wolverhampton NHS Trust and technology company Babylon Health have set up a 10-year partnership to deliver healthcare across the city through a specially designed app.

They have described the approach as ‘digital first integrated care’, using the app developed by the company to provide access to services delivered by the trust.

It is expected to go live before the end of the year, giving patients access to primary and secondary care and using artificial intelligence features on the app to perform an initial triage on whether or not to direct people to A&E departments.

The app will give people access to clinical consultations with Royal Wolverhampton and Babylon Health doctors and specialist nurses, enable them to book appointments and order repeat prescriptions, and to access their personal clinical records.

Oh aye, and how much does this cost? I’ll keep my medical history to myself, thank you very much. And what’s this about Babylon Health doctors and nurses? More privatisation of NHS England.
 
I had an Ultrasound on Thursday NHS but done at private facility, not even local it was 15 miles away and tucked away on an industrial estate.
