@martynhutchings @RenalWelsh @DigitalSBUHB @DHCWales Hi Martyn. Some of the information is already available for patients in PatientView (and soon https://t.co/qmkrIfejGf). This would included diagnosis, transplant listing status, medications supplied, blood tests & BP/Weight etc. Clinic letters avail. for Swansea pts.

I am completely in favour of compulsory vacations for all NHS staff during the pandemic. If necessary they should be forced to take them.

[James Chess @ChessMD]

@HesselingMarkus Good luck for the future Markus, I will miss your contribution to digital in NHS Wales.
