The Background
With a turnover of £1.25 billion and a workforce of 15,000, Barts Health is the largest NHS trust in the country, and one of Britain’s leading healthcare providers. Barts Health offers the full range of local hospital and community health services – from one of the biggest maternity services in the country, to compassionate end of life care at home.
The Trust’s hospitals are home to world-renowned specialist centres, including cancer, cardiac and trauma and emergency care, as well as one of Britain’s biggest children’s hospitals. The Royal London is also the base of London’s Air Ambulance, one of the world’s leading pre-hospital medical services for victims of serious injury.
Apogee initially started engagement with the Trust in 2010 when Old Whitechapel Hospital was about to be rebuilt and become the state of the art Royal London Hospital. The Trust’s solution was lacking innovation and they were experiencing issues in management of consumables and supplies. Staff were also wasting their time having to deal with invoice queries.
