Overview

Transforming healthcare through the application of broadband

Modern healthcare services are totally network-dependent, not only to deliver against patients’ ever-increasing expectations, but also to do that at a cost commensurate with today’s economic realities.

The N3 broadband network was conceived to achieve connectivity between everyone involved in the UK healthcare journey, locally and nationally. And with the speed, security, and reliability that yesterday’s clinicians could only dream of.

Offering choice of appointment time and location to patients, enabling electronic prescribing by doctors, allowing images like x-rays to be instantly transported to the point of use: these and many more are cases of the quiet N3 healthcare revolution.

“An example of the benefits N3 is bringing is the Yorkshire Air Ambulance, which has cut its emergency response time after linking its computers to N3. Its helicopter can now be airborne in two minutes, compared to the average eight minutes it used to take.”
