How can NHS Trusts take a phased approach to campus fabric?

Your guide to introducing campus fabric in a way that works for healthcare.

NHS network teams have the task of modernising ageing infrastructure, strengthening security, and keeping clinical services running. All this, while budgets, skills, and team capacity remain stretched.

A campus fabric can help simplify network operations. But deciding how to introduce it across a busy hospital estate can leave projects waiting for a major refresh or a bigger budget.

Phased campus fabric deployments explores a more manageable approach: starting with a specific challenge and building from there. Where could your Trust begin? Which planned changes could create an opportunity? And how can you show progress before expanding?
