Connecting Care is a digital care record system for sharing
information in Bristol, North Somerset and South
Gloucestershire. It allows instant, secure access to your
health and social care records for the professionals involved in
your care.
Relevant information from your digital records is shared with

information making your care safer and more efficient.

You may see our nurses and doctors using portable
devices near your bed
Please don't be alarmed... our staff are not being
rude.
Our nurses and doctors are now recording and reviewing
observations, such as your heart rate and blood pressure, on
portable devices to help with your care.
Please take the opportunity to ask our staff what they are
recording.
Find out more about our use of portable devices here.
