SPIRE has been developed to help doctors, the National Health Service (NHS) in Scotland and researchers to lean more from patient information held at GP practices, They will use it to help all NHS patients in Scotland. So information from your medical records – and those of millions of other people in Scotland- will help medical professionals to improve the quality of care for all patients, plan services, develop new treatments, find out about side-effects and respond to major epidemics.
Spire moves information electronically and securely, from GP practice records to NHS National Services (NSS). They will then use SPIRE and other IT systems to give better information to the NHS in Scotland to approve researchers.
For further guidance please refer to the SPIRE website.
