Welcome to the September issue of News Direct, the e-bulletin that keeps you up to date on what's happening at NHS Direct. We hope you will find it interesting and informative. Feel free to email your comments on the e-bulletin to stakeholders@nhsdirect.nhs.uk.
There’s been quite a lot of misrepresentation lately about NHS Direct’s future role. The Health Secretary has made it clear that NHS Direct as an organisation is not being closed down.
Find out about how NHS Direct is working with the Department of Health and local health communities involved in all three of the pilot schemes that are testing how 111 can work best.
NHS Direct hosted a number of MP visits during August 2010 with more planned over the coming months. Find out which MPs have seen NHS Direct at work.
NHS Direct has been invited to speak at a number of conferences and events over the next few months. Find out where we'll be presenting and exhibiting.
