NHS Lanarkshire is pioneering MyCare.scot – the new online service that will change how people access their health and care information.
Originally known as Digital Front Door, the national programme is being run by NHS Education Scotland (NES) in partnership with the Scottish Government.
NES is developing the MyCare.scot service in stages, launching parts of it as they become available through a phased rollout across Scotland next year.
The first version launches in December when NHS Lanarkshire’s dermatology team will go live.
The new online service will transform how people access and interact with health and social care services. Users will get a secure digital identity, access to some personal information and the national service finder from NHS Inform.
This is an important step in the Scottish Government’s commitment to a “digital first” approach. It doesn’t replace other ways of accessing health and care information – it simply offers people more choice about how and when they can find the information they need. This means people have more control over how they manage their health and care.
To stay up to date with the latest developments, staff are encouraged to follow MyCare.scot on social media:

Coming soon – Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/MyCareScot.
These channels will share updates, stories and resources as the service rolls out across Scotland.
