MyCare.scot: national rollout - high-level summary

Next steps

Once the necessary foundations are in place, using common scalable technology, we can build a sustainable service that is co-designed with users and offers consistent experience across Scotland. Guided by the experience in NHS Lanarkshire, we will scale and roll out across Scotland. At the same time, we will continually enhance the service. As more organisations are onboarded they will immediately benefit from the additional national features providing a consistent service. However, this is a journey, and there will be variation at a local level as services come online. For example, NHS Boards, in particular, will prioritise their services based on local need and digital maturity. However, we expect all national priority services to be enabled by the end of 2028.

Organisational readiness

Prepare organisations and plan for rollout, with support tailored to their needs

We will connect hospital, GP, social work and social care services step by step, making access more seamless.

People who use and deliver services will help shape the service through ongoing feedback and co-design.

The platform will keep evolving, adding new features and improving accessibility based on user needs.
