RMSL achieves NHS MESH compliance, strengthening healthcare connectivity

RMSL is pleased to announce that it has successfully achieved compliance with NHS England’s Message Exchange for Social Care and Health (MESH) service, marking another significant milestone in the continued development of its OPERA+ platform.

MESH is a nationally established NHS messaging infrastructure that enables the secure and reliable exchange of clinical information between healthcare organisations and systems.

This integration will further strengthen OPERA+ by enabling dentists and optometrists to communicate more effectively with NHS partners, including GP practices, hospitals and other secondary care providers.

Moving towards seamless transfer of care

Importantly, MESH compliance represents a significant step towards enabling OPERA+ to receive transfer-of-care documents, hospital discharge letters and other clinical correspondence directly from secondary care providers.

With further integration and appropriate information-sharing arrangements, these documents could be made securely available to dentists and optometrists through OPERA+, ensuring that community clinicians have access to relevant information following hospital treatment.

This capability has the potential to improve continuity of care, reduce communication delays and strengthen the coordination of treatment between primary and secondary care.

By connecting community healthcare professionals to established NHS messaging infrastructure, RMSL continues to remove traditional barriers between healthcare settings.

This latest achievement reinforces RMSL’s commitment to developing OPERA+ as a fully interoperable, enterprise-grade platform supporting referrals, clinical communication and integrated patient care across the NHS.
