This paper was produced in response to a national invitation in July 2025 to submit proposals to The Single Patient Record (SPR) Development Team for NHS England, and to inform direct discussions with the Team in November 2025.

This approach is anticipated to bring significant structural, operational and efficiency benefits for healthcare teams, and far better oversight of personal health records for every UK citizen
