Digital Medicines Transformational Portfolio publishes first annual review

The Welsh government’s Digital Medicines Transformational Portfolio recently released its first annual review, showcasing the progress made in the ambitious plan to digitize the country’s healthcare system. The portfolio, established in April 2022, aims to enhance patient and healthcare professional experiences by transitioning from paper-based processes to digital solutions. Key milestones include the implementation of electronic prescriptions and the development of shared medicines records, with plans for further expansion in the coming year. This transformation is expected to improve medication management, reduce errors, and provide comprehensive medication records for patients across Wales.
