A DECADE OF ACHIEVEMENT
“This year marks a watershed for PRSB, which celebrates its 10th anniversary – a decade of achievement in driving digital transformation in health and care through the development and adoption of information record standards.
From humble beginnings we have grown to become the authoritative voice on information record standards, representing our members who span the four nations of the United Kingdom, the professions in health and social care, people that speak for hundreds of patient groups, suppliers, health and care providers, and those working at the forefront of digital transformation. Ours is proud track record of accomplishment, and we share the highlights of our 10 years of success here.”
