The wonderful Veggies volunteer crew are still all hands to the pump as they continue their packed 2014 tour, catering at events around the country promoting social change, community spirit, care for animals and the planet.

Starting the month was Awaken Inn, a spiritually-minded event, followed by the British Juggling Convention, the Liverpool 'Live a Better Life' fair, Nottingham food event 'Melting Pot', and then rounded off with this year's 'World Day for Animals in Laboratories' march and rally, organised by the local grassroots group Nottingham Animal Rights.

Care.data ..another ATOS venture for the NHS

Wed, 22 Jan 2014 05:48:14 +0000

care.data - what is going to happen ?

GP practices nationwide will soon be required to supply patients' personal and confidential medical information, on a regular and continuous basis, to the Health and Social Care Information Centre (HSCIC).

Under the Health and Social Care Act 2012, GP practices have no choice but to allow the HSCIC to extract this information.

This project, called care.data, is administered by the HSCIC using software and services provided by a private sector company (ATOS).

When will this take place ?

The HSCIC states that care.data extractions will start from GP surgeries in March 2014.
