The Challenge
During the COVID-19 pandemic, BMI Healthcare faced the urgent need to support NHS efforts while maintaining continuity of care for its own patients. This meant enabling remote consultations, transferring patient data securely, and ensuring NHS staff could access BMI systems safely—all while adapting to rapidly changing demands.
The Solution
We worked closely with BMI Healthcare to build a flexible, scalable and supported IT foundation. Our infrastructure solutions included:
- Hosted applications
- A managed network
- Multi-layer firewall protection
- Secure connectivity via the Health and Social Care Network
These technologies enabled BMI Healthcare to quickly pivot to new ways of working, including remote video consultations and secure system access for NHS staff.
