Care-ready connectivity for the health sector

The Norfolk Community Health and Care NHS Trust (NCH&C) serves a population of more than 900,000 at more than 70 locations.

Its existing network infrastructure was inflexible, reliant on data centres and could not meet the needs of a large community health trust.

With our help, NCH&C took the bold decision to embark on a digital transformation journey and move to a cloud-based, software-defined wide area network (SD-WAN)-supported system.

The new connectivity solution delivered significant cost savings, with a tenfold improvement in the speed and resilience of NCH&C’s core network, dramatically reducing network outages.

Help bridge the digital divide in UK healthcare with our Connect More digital skills programme, supported by our staff volunteers.

Thanks to this programme, the Park Medical practice has seen an increase of 352 repeat prescriptions ordered via the NHS App per month. The benefits extend to the practice staff too, with the online system estimated to have saved them around 17 hours a month.

Cybersecurity

Get 24/7 protection across every device and user so you can share, store and protect patient and ICB data inside and outside hospitals.

Staff training and patient support

Because staff need to be trained to use new technology effectively we can provide IT support centres to take care of any technical issues.

To help support digitally excluded patients we provide local digital skills drop-in sessions run by our staff volunteers.

Easy procurement

We’re a Crown Commercial Service supplier for public sector frameworks, which speeds up admin time for you, reduces your costs and makes it easier to partner with us.

Collaboration tools

Cloud collaboration tools can help create a much more efficient and streamlined healthcare system.

With apps that enable video conferencing, instant messaging, file-sharing and virtual whiteboards, your people can communicate, share patient information and coordinate care plans in real time.

And because these solutions run in the cloud, your staff can securely access them from anywhere with an internet connection, making it easier for health professionals in different organisations to collaborate.

Get in touch to learn more

During the health check we’ll review all of the devices across your trust or ICB enabling us to make recommendations to improve your overall experience, efficiency and security.

This is a collaborative face-to-face session with our digital experts, who will spend time getting to know your trust so they can create tailored solutions to help you achieve your goals.
