Projects in progress

The PRSB works across England, Scotland, Wales, and Northern Ireland to develop and improve health and care information standards. We collaborate with health services, regulators, and technology partners to ensure information is consistent, accurate, and person-centred. Our work supports safer, more effective care and helps professionals and patients access the right information when they need it. On this page, you can review our latest current work.
