The Walton Centre NHS FT renews with Silverlink Software

The Walton Centre NHS Foundation Trust has renewed its contract with Silverlink Software for a further 5 years, following a partnership dating back to 2003.

The specialist neurosciences trust uses the company’s patient administration system, as part of its ‘best-of-breed’ approach, supporting the trust to buy and build neurophysiology modules specific to its needs.

The Walton Centre created an in-house EPR that includes nursing documentation, outpatient workflow, and e-observations, which integrates into the PAS.

Justin Griffiths, Head of IM&T, The Walton Centre NHS Foundation Trust, said: “We are delighted to be renewing our 17-year-long partnership with Silverlink, in pursuit of a best-of-breed approach to digital transformation.”

“Over the course of our working relationship, we have been able to achieve close to full EPR functionality and save millions of pounds by integrating our own digital solutions while ensuring we have a solid architectural foundation using Silverlink’s PAS.”

“By doing so, our team has built up a very good relationship with the Silverlink team, and our in-house skills and knowledge have improved significantly.”

Last month HTN interviewed Managing Director of Silverlink, Tim Quainton, to find out more about the company’s work across health and care, the impact in relation to Covid, and what’s coming up for the company over the next year. Read the interview here.
