Help us shape the Digital Maternity Record Standard
Improving maternity services is a high priority and ensuring people’s maternity information flows to professionals caring for expectant parents and their babies is key. We want to make sure the new standard reflects the very diverse needs of people using maternity services and professionals.
The PRSB is hosting a series of consultation workshops and webinars and we want to encourage you to take part and help shape the new Digital Maternity Record Standard so it supports improved maternity care.
Public workshops are for women and pregnant people who use maternity services will take place between Monday, 8th January and Thursday, 11th January.
Multidisciplinary webinars for professionals working in or with maternity services, women and people who use maternity services, and IT system suppliers will take place between Tuesday, 16th January and Thursday, 25th January.
We're keen to hear from a wide range of people, so please come to any sessions you feel are appropriate to your role, interest, expertise, or experience.
PRSB’s standard for wound care is awarded an Information Standards Notice
Our Wound Care Information Standard, supports the national programme’s goals to reduce pain and suffering, improve healing rates, prevent wounds from happening or coming back, while improving the efficiency of healthcare services. The ISN will require designated healthcare settings to implement the standard by 2025, ensuring that information is recorded in a standardised way which will support its sharing between systems.
Join our webinar on data management in general practice
The ways in which people can access primary care have changed dramatically since the pandemic and workforce planning needs to reflect that. We are inviting professionals working in primary care, including GPs, nurses, pharmacists, paramedics, occupational therapists to share their views on how encounter and activity data should be improved, the benefits of standardising it, and what is needed to support implementation in general practice.
New toolkit will support the implementation of the Diabetes Record Information Standard
We have just launched a beta version of the toolkit which will help ensure that health and care professionals have all the information they need about a person with diabetes. We are currently piloting and testing the standard and the feedback, lessons and materials will be shared in the toolkit to help implement the standard successfully. We would welcome your feedback at this stage. The materials from the pilots will be added on completion of the piloting in April.
How better information sharing will improve diabetes care - our latest column
For the 15 million people living with long-term conditions, joined-up care is the gold standard. Digital systems should support this.

We are delighted to welcome new system suppliers joining our Standards Partnership Scheme - Healthy.io, who supplies a digital wound management platform, and Leecare Solutions, who supports the care of the early with its software. We will be working with them on achieving conformance with our standards in the upcoming months.
