National Institute for Health and Care Excellence
NICE is the NHS advisory body which provides guidance to the nation on the promotion of good health, and the prevention and treatment of ill health. NICE guidance covers the use of new and existing medicines, treatments and procedures, as well as the appropriate treatment and care of people with specific diseases and conditions, within the NHS. NICE also produces guidance on public health topics for those working in the NHS, local authorities and the wider public and voluntary Sector.
Inspired Networks' relationship with NICE is long-standing and built on the foundations of the joint successes we have been able to implement since NICE's inception in 1999. Supporting the on-site personnel, who provide first and second line support, Inspired Networks provides strategic planning services, managed third line helpdesk and full infrastructure managements. Inspired Networks is a key, invaluable addition to NICE's IT team, supporting and developing their network capabilities
Professional Standards Authority
PSA is a statutory overarching body, overseeing the UK’s 9 health and care professional regulatory bodies, covering all of the United Kingdom and separate from the Government. Established in April 2003. PSA promotes best practice and consistency in the regulation of healthcare.
Inspired Networks provided a full outsourcing service for PSA, which started with the initial planning, design and implementation of the IT systems and infrastructure and continues with the day to day running of the network and a fully managed helpdesk, including on-site support at their offices within the National Audit Office.
Confidential Enquiry into Maternal and Child Health
CEMACH improves the health of mothers, babies and children by carrying out confidential enquiries on a nationwide basis and by widely disseminating their findings and recommendations.
Inspired Networks took over the outsourcing contract for CEMACH from another company in 2003 and have since stabilised and expanded the network which covers 11 offices. Due to the confidential nature of the work carried out, security is very important. We helped CEMACH attain the stringent section 60 data protection approval from the Department of Health and ensure their network maintains a high level of security.
Shona Golightly, Director of Development & Analysis at CEMACH says "For a small organisation like ours the prospect of implementing and maintaining an IT Infrastructure across 11 sites with state of the art security was quite a challenge. Inspired Networks met this challenge for us and delivered a robust solution in a cost effective manner. I would recommend them highly."
