The NHS is currently undergoing a transformation, which once completed will give place to a new, leaner and more efficient healthcare landscape. With limited financial resources and having to meet the growing needs of an ageing population, many NHS trusts are struggling, some have gone into administration, such as South London Healthcare NHS Trust, with more to follow suit.

iMDsoft®, a leader in clinical information systems, announced the opening of a new office with an expanded workforce in Düsseldorf, demonstrating their firm commitment to the European market. The local team will now include a German-based professional services team providing support 24/7.

FairWarning®, the global leader in patient privacy monitoring, has contributed to Intellect's response to the government's plans for a paperless NHS. In its report 'Digitising the NHS by 2018', the UK's technology association provides its views on achieving this important challenge.

International mobile software solutions provider, TotalMobile has announced a campaign to support healthcare professionals spend more time with patients and less on administration and travel by adopting new mobile technologies. The campaign will support the NHS Institute of Innovation and Improvement's Releasing Time to Care (RTTC) scheme, part of the Productive Ward initiative, with TotalMobile delivering a series of workshops around the UK.
