⭐️ THIS Monthly Champions ⭐️

This month, we’re celebrating Michelle Smith, EPR Pharmacy Technician, and Andrew Nichols, Digital eLearning Developer Lead 💙

Over the past year, Michelle and Andrew have worked with the Hospital Pharmacy Team to deliver the first major upgrade to prescribing eLearning since Cerner EPR went live, improving training for Doctors and non-medical prescribers across the Trust.

From specialist prescribing guidance to patient safety learning, this has been a huge collaborative effort focused on improving prescribing practice and supporting safer care.

Thank you both for your hard work, dedication and teamwork, you’re a brilliant part of what makes THIS tick 💙

We've been providing digital health and IT services to NHS and healthcare organisations for over 25 years.

In that time, we've supported primary care, secondary care, third sector providers and everything in between.

What does that look like in practice? Our case studies share some of the real stories behind our work — the challenges, the solutions and the difference it makes for patients and staff.

Imagine going to A&E and the team there can already see your GP records, your recent test results and your current medication.

No repeating yourself. No gaps. Just care that feels joined-up 💙

That's the promise of Shared Care Records. But making it real depends on something most people never think about — the quality and accuracy of the data sitting behind those records.

At THIS, we support the clinical coding and information governance that makes connected care trustworthy.

Your website is often the first thing a patient, partner or commissioner sees when they look you up.

For NHS and healthcare organisations, that first impression matters — and it needs to be more than just a good design. It needs to be accessible, secure and easy to navigate for everyone 💙

At THIS, we build user-centred websites and intranets that meet NHS standards and are designed around the needs of real healthcare users.

The NHS generates enormous amounts of data every single day.

But data sitting in systems doesn't improve care on its own. It needs to be accurate, accessible and turned into insight that people can actually act on 💙

At THIS, we help NHS organisations do exactly that — combining business intelligence, data quality expertise and automation to make sure the right information reaches the right teams at the right time.

Paper forms. Disconnected spreadsheets. Processes that rely on someone remembering the right steps.

Sound familiar? 💙

At THIS, we build bespoke web applications that replace exactly these kinds of systems — digitising workflows, improving data quality and giving teams the tools they actually need.

And because we build for healthcare, everything is designed with NHS governance, security and accessibility at its core.

Every day, thousands of healthcare professionals across the NHS need to access critical systems — patient records, prescribing platforms, national databases.

Behind every single one of those access points is an NHS Smartcard 💙

At THIS, our Registration Authority team manages smartcard issuing, modification and cancellation for 70+ organisations across health and social care — making sure the right people can access the right systems, securely and without delay.
It's one of those services that works best when you never have to think about it.
