Healthcare has always been a vital industry, but for obvious reasons, it’s more important now than it’s ever been. Hospitals are being faced with an environment in which they must do all they can to limit physical contact, and technology is playing a key role in making that possible. On top of the COVID-19 crisis, however, healthcare organisations still have to grapple with everyday IT challenges like improving operational efficiency and maintaining their security.
To discuss these issues, and how the healthcare sector is using technology to tackle them, we’re joined this week by Craig York, CTO of Milton Keynes University Hospital Foundation Trust, and member of the IT Pro Panel.
