We make a difference

We improve lives through technology

We’re focussed on helping to tackle healthcare’s biggest challenges, using our advanced data and technology capabilities, together with deep clinical and industry expertise.

We’re always thinking of digital ways to make healthcare more efficient for the good of all. That goes for nation-wide analytics initiatives that change patient care, all the way down to little ways to make it easier for you to order your repeat prescriptions.

That’s us: if it can help patient care, we’ll do our best to make it happen.

Our culture

Our differences are what make us thrive

Our values and culture guide us wherever we work and whatever we do. Inclusion is a key value — we welcome, value, respect and hear all voices and diverse points of view. Combining our other values of compassion, innovation, integrity and relationships means we benefit from a workplace culture where everyone can thrive and develop their career as they carry out their life’s best work.

Our culture

We continually strive to find ways to improve the lives of our people

• Belonging

  Our employee-led communities give our people the opportunity to support initiatives, raise awareness and contribute to the development of fairness, balance and belonging, led by our value of Inclusion.​

• Sustainability

  Our sustainability strategy, steered by our sustainability committee, strives to improve lives both now and in the future, through sustainable business practices and healthcare technology.

• Wellbeing support

  We continuously strive to be an employer that acknowledges the importance of health and wellbeing, providing support to our people through our Employee Assistance Programme (EAP) whilst raising awareness of topical themes through our annual wellbeing programme.

• Volunteering

  In support of personal causes as well as our company social value programme, all employees have the opportunity to volunteer for registered charities, delivering positive social impact on a personal level.​
