Health and care apps & tools directory advance preview

This is the alpha version of the Health & Care Online Tools Directory, which will be launched by the NHS Commissioning Board in early 2013. This will provide a trusted directory of online tools for the public and care professionals.

All featured tools will have appropriate medical safety and quality vetting, with users (both care professionals and the public) being able to rate and comment on the usefulness of individual online tools.

The NHS Commissioning Board are also very keen to have feedback on the site as well as suggestions for apps or other tools to include. You can contact them at: tools.feedback@nhs.net
