Public health services
Protecting populations from getting sick and eradicating disease is a global priority. Positive lessons have been learned during COVID-19, particularly the speed with which the NHS embraced digital solutions and delivered a successful vaccination programme.
We know that vaccination and screening programmes are most effective when you can identify the right people at the right time. Equally, contacting the hard-to-reach groups and identifying ways to encourage uptake are major challenges faced in health and care today.
We've been working at the forefront of vaccination delivery for both national COVID-19 and winter flu programmes, providing digital services and being the leading partner in improving immunisation uptake across the nation.
Our Child Health Information Services ensure that all children aged 0-19 years continue to have an accurate immunisation and screening record to support healthcare professionals in their delivery of clinical interventions, without interruption to service provision.
We have expertise, innovation and insight to share.
