London

Access to Map of Medicine is no longer available across London following the expiry on March 31st 2011 of the contract between Map of Medicine and BT, London Local Service Provider.

Although we understand the difficult choices that have to be made by regional organisations, the expiry comes at a time when the Map is set to release more cost-saving information, more care maps focussing on high-priority clinical areas, and the functionality for you to depict multiple settings in your local care maps, including social care and self-care.

While there will no longer be London-wide access to the Map, access can be reinstated for organisations that wish to continue to use the Map directly rather than through the previous London-wide approach. The Map will be available to organisations through the LSP Additionals Catalogue. If you would like to understand how this works, and how the Map can help your organisation to redesign services to meet the challenges facing the NHS, please contact us on enquiries@mapofmedicine.com.

Localised care maps can be used to drive and sustain savings of up to £2bn, as a number of studies have shown. Map of Medicine’s care maps have been embraced by a number of your colleagues across the country to meet the productivity challenge, as well as to achieve better clinical outcomes and patient experience.

We continue to work with healthcare communities across England to help them meet their clinical and productivity challenges. If you would like to understand the work we are doing and how to reinstate your access to the Map, please contact us on the above email address.

For a limited period, users will be able to access national-level care maps via Map of Medicine Direct Access.
