As part of our ongoing work, a Digital Control Centre is being established, bringing together the latest advances in data analytics and digital health to achieve a world-leading organisation, which has operational excellence, the best quality healthcare and patient experience.

This project has the opportunity to scale across the Northern Alliance and potentially across the rest of the NHS.
