Bramble Hub partner Nautilus Consulting is to provide a Picture Archiving and Communications System (PACS) to Great Western Hospitals Foundation Trust (GWH).

The system will be used within GWH by Core Radiology, Breast and Cardiology departments, and will replace an existing PACS from a US provider: GWH is the only remaining NHS Trust using this solution.

The Great Western Hospitals NHS Trust provides acute hospital services at the Great Western Hospital. The Trust employs approximately 5,000 staff and has around 1.2 million patient contacts a year.

The Trust also provides community services to support people to manage long-term conditions. Services are provided in local community facilities and in people’s own homes across Swindon. Services include inpatient rehabilitation and community nursing and therapy services. Since November 2019, the Trust has provided primary care services at two main practices in Swindon – Moredon and Abbey Meads, which together serve around 30,000 people.

The project was awarded via the Digital Outcomes and Specialists 5 (DOS5) framework from Crown Commercial Service.
