Earlier this week, the Online NHS Trust was formally created, a significant step in how planned NHS care will be delivered from 2027.

The new Trust will let people in England access planned care through the NHS App, connecting them with specialist clinicians anywhere in the country and reducing the need to travel.

John Browett has been announced as inaugural Chair, supported by a group of Non-Executive Directors bringing experience from across the health sector.
