What is NHS Open Source?
Freedom to use
Freedom to
redistribute
copies
Freedom to
understand how
it works and
adapt it
Freedom to
make and share
improvements
with anyone
The Vision
11
How this will be achieved
1. Create a market of viable Open Source solutions, for them to be
considered equally with proprietary options
2. Provide evidence of the value of Open Source to the wider Health
and Social Care Community
3. Ensure by default all code created in the NHS is shared as part of
a Library of assets for re-use
4. Ensure a level playing field for Open Source commodity &
infrastructure services
