Transfers of care toolkit

High volumes of patients are transferred every day between health and care settings. This toolkit concentrates on the Professional Record Standards Body eDischarge Summary Standard, which specifies the data to be shared between secondary and primary care to support the discharge of a patient from hospitals across the UK. It does not propose a one-size-fits-all approach, and recognises that health and care services are organised in different ways across the UK.
