We are currently researching what electronic health record (EHR) vendors NHS trusts are using to manage the following records for these departments:

- Cardiology
- Diabetes
- Neuroscience & Neurology
- Infection, Immunology, Inflammatory and Immunity

We would be very grateful if The Trust could let us know the vendors that are currently being used. This would be of great use for medical research we are involved with.
