Digital across London
We recently reported the announcement that a single chief information officer is to hold the role across four trusts: North West London Acute Provider Collaborative, made up of Chelsea and Westminster Hospital, Imperial College Healthcare, London North West University Healthcare and The Hillingdon Hospitals.
HTN also recently explored the notes from NHS South West London ICB’s latest board meeting for September, which highlighted its “significant work” around bringing digital, workforce and estates together under a single Infrastructure Strategy, and shared updates on the finalised SWL Urgent and Emergency Care Winter Plan for 2024/25.
Also in September, we shared how The Royal National Orthopaedic Hospital Trust and University College London Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust have announced their upcoming collaboration on Epic’s EHR; the launch of preventative health tech company Neko Health in the capital, offering a “preventative health check for the future self” mapping millions of external and internal health data points on the body; and the announcement that 17 SMEs have been selected for DigitalHealth.London’s latest accelerator programme, with more information available here.
