Traka issues White Paper on key digital opportunities for NHS

Presenting the opportunities now available when it comes to the use of technology and digital solutions to support the NHS, the White Paper – entitled ‘Embracing Change for our NHS and UK Healthcare’ poses the question: ‘How can hospital asset management support essential works and help build increased efficiency practices into the UK healthcare system? Further, it explores the external and internal challenges faced by the NHS as it looks to move forward.

Ben Farrar, market development manager for Traka UK, stated: “The launch of the NHS was an historic moment in British history. This was a bold and pioneering plan to make healthcare accessible to everyone. Since then, the NHS has gone through so many changes, improvements, updates and modernisation processes, culminating in its incredible response to the global pandemic.”

Farrar continued: “The NHS’ road to meeting today’s challenges has not been smooth, with well documented turmoil and hardships. Going forward, it’s essential for decision-makers and procurement teams to have the right tools in place to ensure NHS staff can work in the ‘new normal’ as efficiently as possible and look after staff, themselves and our nation’s health and well-being.”

The White Paper draws on the nation’s pride in the NHS’ response to the Coronavirus pandemic. Included in the research is detail from ‘The NHS: People Plan 2021-2021 – Action for us all’ together with Public Health England’s 2020-2025 Strategy and five-year health infrastructure plan. There has been significant capital spend designed to bring an “incredible scale and pace of transformation, embracing the importance of technology in everyday operations.”

Farrar added: “Against all the challenges and suffering posed by COVID-19, the last 12 months has proven to be a pivotal moment for UK healthcare. In this White Paper, we’ve drawn on the positives of the NHS response, but highlight how there’s always more that can be done. It’s now up to those responsible for hospital site management and daily operations to prioritise the opportunities afforded by technology to support ongoing care. We see this as a chance to open a debate on the solutions available.”
