We are delighted to welcome the Apperta Foundation as Organisational members of openEHR.

Apperta was formed in 2015 and is a clinician controlled, not-for-profit community interest company that designs, develops, and delivers innovative open-standards digital solutions that they then make available license cost free, forever, to the NHS and other health care providers across the world.

Peter Coates, Managing Director: *“From supporting the creation of openEHR International, the publication of the seminal ‘[Defining an Open Platform](https://apperta.org/assets/Apperta_Defining_an_Open_Platform.pdf)’ and [‘A Blueprint for a Co-Produced Personal Health Record (CoPHR)](https://apperta.org/assets/Apperta_A_Blueprint_for_a_Co-produced_Personal_Health_Record_Ecosystem.pdf)’ our two organisations have shared the same vision for a long time, it’s great to fully formalise this with our new Organisational Membership”*
