UK | 31 Mar 06
The Informing Healthcare Programme has negotiated a national contract on behalf of all NHS Wales organisations for the use of the Map of Medicine in April 2006.
The Map of Medicine provides over 300 evidence based clinical care journeys in an interactive and user-friendly web based tool. Its purchase is part of the Informing Healthcare continuing plan to achieve increased value for money for NHS Wales by negotiating national deals.

Dr David Gozzard, Medical Director at Conwy and Denbighshire NHS Trust is certain the tool will bring many benefits to clinicians. He said:
"The Map of Medicine has been developed by clinicians and is based on the best clinical evidence available. The care journeys available to both Primary and Secondary Care clinicians will aid in the development of innovative models of treatment for all patients. I welcome the opportunity to develop agreed best practice across the health sectors."
