The numbers don’t lie; NHS digital maturity still has a long way to go:
💻 86% have an EPR system, but many struggle to keep it connected
So, what’s the common thread with these stats?
It’s the network.
Modern healthcare depends on reliable, flexible infrastructure, not just…
What if your building was more than a place to work or learn?
Optimised spaces, reduced waste, and greener energy use mean your building supports your goals, and the planet’s.

Last Thursday, we had the absolute pleasure of sitting down with Amy Freeman, Chief Digital Information Officer at University Hospitals of North Midlands NHS Trust and winner of CIO of the year from Digital Health
Amy shared how her team has been driving incredible digital…

Yet sometimes they do.
Surgeons rely on digital note-taking.
Nurses’ book essential kit.
A&E teams work to the four-hour target.
This doesn’t work smoothly if the signal drops.
We’ve helped Trusts layer coverage even in…
Great care needs great connectivity.
When Wi-Fi just works, so do your teams:
🩺 ECGs upload instantly
👩⚕️ PDAs at the bedside save time
👶 Records follow the patient
EPR isn't just about going digital.
It’s about giving staff real-time data they can trust, so they can focus…
