Community update
Since our last update, North Cumbria Integrated Care NHS Foundation Trust and South Tyneside and Sunderland NHS Foundation Trust began sharing some of their community data. We are happy to report that County Durham and Darlington NHS Foundation Trust and Gateshead Health NHS Foundation Trust are also about to switch on data sharing in their community services. A summary of which community units have activated sharing and viewing is available.
