## Summary

NHS England has warned GP practices to protect patient information and maintain contact with patients after website provider Silicon Practice Digital Health Solutions went into administration. The collapse has disrupted services at potentially hundreds of practices, leaving some websites offline and raising concerns about continuity of care.

NHS England’s chief technology officer, Kevin Humphries, urged practices to preserve historical patient information, manage existing online consultation requests and provide alternative ways for patients to reach them. Practices should assess whether any impact on personal data must be reported to the Information Commissioner’s Office; Integrated Care Boards are expected to coordinate recovery and review business continuity plans. A GP technology campaigner has also published a free website template for practices to use.
