Our partnerships
North West London Collaborative Bank – finalist in Best Healthcare Provider Partnership with the NHS category
The four acute NHS providers in north west London came together with Patchwork Health to create the North West London Collaborative Bank, a digital platform which allows bank doctors and nurses from any of the partner Trusts to see and book available shifts in other Trusts. This is an example of ever closer working and collaboration within the NHS. As well as making things easier for staff, the bank is helping hospitals staff shifts that can’t be filled with their own internal bank and ultimately helping ensure our hospitals are safely staffed.
TrackIT – finalist in the Best Consultancy Partnership with the NHS category
Imperial College Healthcare and London North West University Healthcare NHS Trusts worked with CPS, a UK based Microsoft Business Solutions Partner, to create a cloud-based platform for developing and overseeing key projects and programmes. This is called TrackIT and provides the Trusts with more accurate reporting available in real-time, clear visibility of project impacts, progress, timelines, and risks. The platform is already helping improve efficiency, productivity and decision-making, for the benefit of staff and patients.
