What is editable access for Londoners?
In late spring, editable access for Londoners via the NHS login service is due to go live. This will enable members of the public to start a care plan and edit selected personal information in real time within the UCP, either via the NHS App or online login.
As part of this change, the option to save information as ‘in progress’ for six forms will be removed. This is required to enable the individual to be able to co-author appropriate sections of their care plan enabling greater involvement.
What action is required by professionals?
To prepare for this, we will be removing the functionality to save the forms ‘in progress’ on 14th April. From this date, any information still saved as ‘in progress’ in these forms will be removed from the system.
Please review and submit any ‘in progress’ forms before 14th April to avoid information being removed.
The six forms affected are:
- Personal Information
- Personal and Professional Contacts
- Communication and Accessibility
- What Matters to Them
- Thinking Ahead
- Daily activities and Support Needs
More information on how to find and submit ‘in progress’ forms can be found here.
