The winner will be announced during an awards ceremony at London's Hilton Hotel, Park Lane on 31 October 2012.

The solution also enables us to demonstrate that our nursing teams are effective and are delivering real value for money, which is essential for all health organisations in the UK today."

Jim Chase, Managing Director of Advanced Health & Care says, "iNurse plays an important role in delivering efficient, cost-effective and safe community healthcare. The mobile solution helps nurses to improve productivity through reduced paperwork and travel time. The solution has helped Medway Community Healthcare nurses and clinicians to deliver the right care at the right time."

Advanced saw a 200 per cent rise in number of mobile users in the last financial year and is continuing to invest heavily in its mobile solutions.
