Don’t settle for mediocrity,
be extraordinary
Investing in a robust and reliable infrastructure is the foundation for digital transformation and higher potential for health and care. But delivering such infrastructure is difficult and we’re seeing significant challenges within the NHS organisations that we speak to.
Tip the scales
in your favour
Your journey to a smarter network foundation can help tame complexity, empower staff and promote safe and effective care. It’s time to empower your healthcare ecosystem with a network that not only meets but exceeds your expectations.
Move from strategy
to reality
Our network assessment service helps networking teams translate a trust’s digital vision into a practical, customised roadmap, providing a guide to get from your current network configuration to a Future Ready digital infrastructure.
Barts is already seeing a host of positive changes from working with Block on our Trust-wide digital transformation. You can feel it on the ground, in patient feedback and staff morale. Fay Stevenson, Deputy Director of Informatics at Barts Health NHS Trust
