Case Studies

“The support we get from NECS has been brilliant. We’ve attended numerous webinars and have a weekly call with the Capacity Tracker team which allows us to feed back any comments.”

It really works! Absolutely excellent - many congratulations to you and your colleagues. I actually couldn’t believe that it would be so simple. My smartcard was recognised straight away with no additional installation needed. Amazing. Makes a big difference in being able to do e-prescribing.

“Really good system, it’s very easy to set up and use”

The drug is undeniably equally effective and much less expensive, and the money this will save – in excess of £13.5 million per year for the 12 CCGs involved in the litigation alone and hundreds of millions of pounds across the country – can be ploughed straight back into delivering the very best care possible to our patients. Here in the North, that’s enough to pay for an extra 270 nurses or 266 heart transplants every year, and in a financially stretched NHS that could be life changing for thousands of our patients.

NECS, in conjunction with key strategic partners developed a new private network which would provide sufficient bandwidth, performance and resilience to meet the demands of the ever changing healthcare environment, which could be deployed in a sufficiently quick time frame to prevent any loss of service to the affected sites.

The scheme running across the North East and North Cumbria has already shown that savings can be made by not routinely prescribing for minor ailments that can be self-managed. When these kinds of savings are made across the whole country, the NHS will be able to invest more in those services that are most needed such as new cancer treatments and improvements to mental health services.

I honestly can't speak highly enough of Katie and the team, they have been such a phenomenal help in all sorts of ways; their ability to take on and succeed with difficult and poorly defined briefs, their behaviours and attitudes and their friendliness and approachable manner. I will definitely bear the NECS consultancy team in mind in my new role.
