Documented Engagement • Verified Deployment
The Challenge
An acute NHS hospital trust faced severe clinical ward space shortages due to 450,000 physical patient paper charts dating back 25 years. Medical staff required rapid access without compromising legal admissibility.
Our Engineering Solution

Key Measurable Outcomes
Reclaimed 2,800 square meters of hospital floor space converted into acute consultation rooms
100% legal admissibility achieved under BS 10008, enabling safe destruction of legacy paper
Emergency record retrieval reduced from 48 hours to under 35 minutes via digital portal
Full compliance verified under NHS Data Security & Protection Toolkit (DSPT)
