## Notice

NHS Digital (NHSD) writes clinical content to support the Patient Pathways and 111 Online services. It is critical that this content is up to date and reflective of the most up to date treatment advice. This contract establishes the formal assurance of clinical information and content and with it, the provision of specialist development expertise across a broader spectrum of conditions and relevant subject matter experts. Initially focussed on NHS Pathways and NHS 111 Online, the assurance will include a review of new content ('prospective content'), but also a review (over a 5-year period) of current and legacy content ('retrospective content').
