National Health Service (NHS) is the largest welfare system in UK
(WWW.NHS.NET) is established on the basis of the selectivity principle for poor relief and universality principle. The British citizens with income shall be insured by the social insurance and pay the insurance expenses and enjoy the relevant welfare according to the uniform standard. The welfare system is managed by Government.
Financial resources of (WWW.NHS.NET)
The main financial resources of NHS are from the tax revenue. As the expenses for the largest project of the British social welfare system, the government allocation in 2009 was more than 90 billion pounds which is 10 times the government allocation 60 years ago. NHS provides a comprehensive range of health services for more than 60 million people in Britain, which can be regarded as the largest public medical system. Moreover, the employees of NHS are up to 1.5 million, including 90,000 hospital doctors and 35,000 family doctors, 400,000 nurses and 16,000 first-aid personnel; and there are 1600 hospitals and special care centers in the country.
(WWW.NHS.NET) Structure
NHS system is divided into two layers. The first layer is the fundamental medical service focusing on the communities, for example, General Practitioner (GP), dentist, pharmacy, ophthalmic testing, etc. Every British citizen can register in the nearby GP clinic, and any further treatment must be transferred by the fundamental medical service. The second layer mainly refers to the hospitals, including emergency, outpatient service, operative treatment, hospitalized nursing. Etc.
Recently, NHS has corrected SIRT clinic policy probation statement, and therefore mCRC patients and ICC patients can receive the treatment in various professional centers and benefit from the SIR-Spheres therapy.
At present, SIR-Spheres therapy becomes one of the first batch of the medical technology used in the professional centers, and will be comprehensively conducted by “CtE” of NHS England. The “CtE” plan makes the professional centers able to use the services such as SIRT. Although the primary safety and curative effect have been accepted and supported by NICE, the further evidence for the aspect of relevant clinic and cost effectiveness is also needed to support the normal probation.
In order to be a professional system and be convenient for the transmission of relevant information, (WWW.NHS.NET) system has a system of NHSmail, which is the national email and directory service available to NHS employees in England and Scotland.
Accredited to government restricted status, it is the only NHS email service secure enough for the transmission of confidential patient information.

Purpose
The NHS Pathways and the Directory of Services core narrative has been designed to
support NHS communications leads and/or project managers in explaining what is changing
for patients and healthcare staff.
Background
The pressures on ambulance services and EmergencyDepartments(ED) have been
increasing and many of the patients that dial 999 for an ambulance or visit ED could be
treated more appropriately in primary care.
Until now urgent and emergency care has been fragmented and disconnected as patients often don’t know where they should go when they have an urgent care need that is not life threatening. This has led to inconsistencies in the responses and treatment patients receive for various reasons. These include: preventing easy cross referral, the need to re-triage at each step using different clinical assessment tools, patients being referred to services that do not have the skills they require or patients simply not knowing where and how they can access urgent care and as a result dial 999.
NHS Pathways sets out to deliver a single clinical assessment tool that provides effective triage over the telephone in any setting taking calls from the public. This can include 999, NHS Direct, GP out-of-hours, NHS 111 and any other Single Point of Access number in place. This will ensure every patient accessing urgent and emergency care services is effectively triaged, reducing the need for them to repeat information and helping to make sure that they are directed to the right care at the right time.
What is it and how does it work? NHS Pathways is a suite of clinical assessment content for triaging telephone calls from the public, based on the symptoms they report when they call.
NHS Pathways enables a specially designed clinical assessment to be carried out by the trained person answering the call. Once the clinical assessment has been completed, a clinical skill set and a defined timescale will be identified for the patient.
At the end of the assessment, if an emergency ambulance is not required, an automatic search is carried out on the integrated Directory of Services to locate an appropriate service in the patient’s local area that offers the specific clinical skills needed within the time frame required.

As the NHS has evolved, the range of NHS providers from the independent and third sectors offering NHS-commissioned services and requiring information management and technology (IM&T) integration has increased significantly.
Recognising the growing importance of these sectors to the NHS and the need for effective integration with NHS systems and applications, NHS Connecting for Health (NHS CFH) introduced the NHS Business Partners programme (previously known as the Independent Sector Healthcare programme).
The programme provides a dedicated contact point within NHS CFH for both NHS commissioners and, where appropriate, their contracted healthcare providers and their system suppliers. It can:
provide advice and guidance on integrating with NHS systems and applications, tailored to the needs of commissioners and healthcare providers
and support providers and their system suppliers with achieving system compliance with NHS systems and service www.nhs.net

According to the national and regional distribution of www.Nhs.net’s world web search volume, there is only the United Kingdom on the list and its search volume can reach 100%. In fact NHS implies National Health Service on the United Kingdom and it is a very popular and important service in the UK. At the same time it is very convenient to contact the medical staff if you have any healthy problem.
Maybe the people who like travelling know what Thames Ditton is. Thames Ditton is a web service for ordering the inn when you travel outside. It was known by the travelers for its fastness and convenience. It is wise to add the Nhs.net service to Thames Ditton to let more and more people know the relevant situation on Nhs.net service.
