TAKING THE PAIN AWAY
Powered by WM5G
The UK’s health and care systems are facing enormous challenges.
Unprecedented demand is fuelling diagnosis and treatment backlogs, while the increasingly complex needs of an ageing population mean traditional models of health and care delivery simply don’t work anymore.
We believe there is a different way.
By supporting front-line staff and patients to make more of new technologies, we can shift the focus from reactive to preventative healthcare; speeding up diagnoses, treating and preventing more conditions in the community, and levelling up access to health and care services across our villages, towns and cities.
We have proven experience delivering innovative, connected solutions for health and care settings :
Community Diagnostics
Bowel cancer is the second biggest cancer killer in the UK but the disease is treatable and curable if caught early. Colon Capsule Endoscopies (aka Pill Cam) offer a more convenient, less-invasive screening option than traditional colonoscopies, helping release extra patient screening capacity while reducing waiting times for those who may need further treatment.
Building on our experience as part of the Smart Cities Region programme, WM5G’s Colon Capsule Endoscopy pathway is developed on the principles of inter-NHS collaboration. It adopts a new, flexible delivery model that aligns with and enhances existing CCE services at Trust level, meets all CQC requirements, and provides service design and implementation support for moving services into community settings.
Clinicians are able to speed up diagnosis, reduce backlogs and focus resources on those patients requiring further treatment, while patients benefit from reduced waiting times, greater choice and improved health outcomes.

Technology Enabled Care
Supporting elderly or vulnerable citizens to live independently in their own homes is a growing challenge – one that is placing unprecedented pressures on our health and social care services.
Our Technology Enabled Care (TEC) programmes are now improving care and support in a way that’s setting a new standard for the region and beyond.
Through smart use of IoT sensors and voice-activated technologies in citizens’ homes, along with a comprehensive culture-change programme, we have demonstrated that tailored TEC packages can help residents enjoy greater independence while living in their own homes, safely, for longer. It is an approach that is freeing resources to support more people, reducing preventable hospital admissions, and smoothing transitions between primary and social care.

Virtual Care
Supporting our elderly and vulnerable citizens as they move between primary and social care is the health and social care challenge of our age. While virtual care offers a valuable option, full adoption is a complex process requiring multi-agency collaboration and integration.
WM5G’s fully managed Virtual Care service empowers ICBs to deliver seamless virtual care for patients; supporting health and social care teams to optimise pathway design, and deploying the right technology solutions to enable sustainable adoption.
The result? A Virtual Care service that aligns effectively with existing services and national digital health priorities, which can be rapidly deployed and scaled, reduces clinician workloads, and supports patients to move seamlessly between pathways while reducing clinician workloads – all while improving patient outcomes.

In-building connectivity
We believe improving connectivity and making smarter use of technology offer way more opportunities to improve patient care. As such, we owe it to patient and clinical communities to make sure all new buildings used to deliver health and social care services are designed with connectivity in mind. WM5G recently advised NHS Digital on the guidelines it should put in place to ensure all new NHS hospitals come with connectivity built in from day one, reducing barriers to patients and clinicians benefiting from new health technologies and providing the infrastructure we need to release efficiencies across the piece.

Robert Hull
Health operations manager
Rob believes that well-implemented technology has the potential to transform healthcare and improve patient outcomes. A microbiologist by training, he has always had a strong interest in new technologies and enjoys working alongside health professionals to improve patient outcomes through technological advances. Rob strongly believes that data will play an increasingly important role in the way healthcare is delivered across the country and is inspired by the way in which innovations such as AI can improve diagnosis for patients while reducing administrative workloads. However, this is only useful when implemented effectively, with a clear focus on results, rather than simply jumping on the latest technology trends. If he could change one thing about healthcare, Rob would like to see a clearer pipeline for proven technologies to move from pilot stage to wider-scale adoption – a perfect goal for someone who is working to deliver technology-enabled improvements to patient care while relieving some of healthcare professionals’ day-to-day challenges.
Dawn Castles
Health customer account manager
Having worked as a registered nurse in the NHS for 10 years, Dawn believes technology has a valuable role to play improving waiting times and discharge processes, as well as supporting more patients to be treated effectively in their own homes. Her clinical experience, combined with previous work in the pharmaceutical sector, allows her to bring a fresh perspective to digital healthcare, helping Trusts identify and remove practical and management barriers to service transformation to improve patient care.
A strong advocate for NHS/social care integration, Dawn believes providing the right care, in the right place at the right time holds the key to supporting patients on the journey ‘from hospital to home’. Digital transformation is a key part of this process and Dawn is excited by the opportunity to deliver full wraparound/managed clinical services to NHS Trusts that will encourage a greater focus on prevention and personalised care, to the benefit of citizens and healthcare professionals alike.
