WAY MORE greater care, closer to home
Health & Care
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 :
Health & Care Digital Learning Network
29 June saw the launch of our powerful new Digital Learning Network for the Health and Care sector at The STEAMhouse, Birmingham. The network brings together clinicians, policy makers, innovators and providers from around the country to discuss key challenges facing the sector, showcase innovations and collaborate on new ideas that will improve patient outcomes, aligning digital aspirations and strategies.
Designed to be complementary to existing forums, the network is dedicated to promoting the development of current and future digital transformation across health and care organisations, helping reduce health inequality and improve diagnosis and treatment.

Connected Ambulance
Ambulances are a key part of our healthcare services but time taken to travel to hospitals and handover patients can have a real impact on patient outcomes. In collaboration with University Hospitals Birmingham NHS Trust (UHB) and technology partner BT, we proved that using 5G networks can transform paramedic services, enabling real-time, remote diagnostic tests to be carried out in situ and streamlining the treatment and admissions processes.
Assisted Living
For elderly or vulnerable patients, it is not always possible to travel to GP surgeries for appointments, while time pressures on healthcare providers mean home visits to monitor ongoing conditions can be challenging to fit in.
In conjunction with five local care homes, we proved that greater use of connected diagnostic tools can help GPs view and record clinical information and check vital signs remotely, in the same way they would face-to-face, helping safeguard patients during the pandemic, improving access to GPs and opening up the possibility of remote ward rounds in hospitals.


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.
