NHSmail
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
NHSmail is the name of the internal communications system being developed for the UK National Health Service (NHS) under the National Programme for IT by the Connecting for Health Agency.
It is designed to comprise an integrated and secure e-mail, diary and directory system for NHS employees, and has been approved by the British Medical Association. However as many organisations within the NHS use different and incompatible systems, it will take time and expenditure until full migration is achieved.
Many NHS Trusts do not wish to move their staff on to an external email system when much of their email traffic is internal and never leaves the trust. There is pressure nationally however to do this, however illogical trusts deem this to be.
