The team

Clinical Digital Resource Collaborative was born of a shared vision.

Partly driven by the adoption of Snomed CT by the NHS, partly by frustration with the lack of consistent codes, categories and systems across primary and secondary care in the UK, the CDRC have committed to transforming and streamlining the process in North East and North Cumbria.

This can be achieved by having a central team of specialists who create digital resources once for the whole region and deliver them by one route for each clinical IT system (SystmOne and EMIS).

We believe CDRC Precision digital resources have the potential to make a real difference to patient health and clinicians working lives.

GP software systems are highly sophisticated and designing searches can be time-consuming. It is our mission to help you manage your patient care more efficiently.

We have developed a suite of fully-funded digital resources around key nationwide health improvement programmes and continuously work with partners and stakeholders to achieve a coordinated response.

CDRC Precision digital resources are designed and developed in the North East and North Cumbria by clinicians. They are supported by NHSE, NECS, and the AHSN NENC.
