jan 1, 1998 - Launch of NHS Direct
Description:
This service will go on to become one of the largest single e-health services in the world, handling more than half a million calls each month. It is the start of a growing range of convenient alternatives to traditional GP services – including the launch of NHS walk-in centres, which offer patients treatment and advice for a range of injuries and illnesses without the need to make an appointment. The NHS Direct service closed in 2014. Instead, you can call NHS 111.Added to timeline:
