Europe's most extensive healthcare IT programme takes off

Europe's most extensive healthcare IT programme takes off

Today, the South East Trust in Northern Ireland, comprising five hospitals, is
live with Sectra RIS/PACS. These are the first of 25 hospitals, together
performing more than 1 million examinations per year, that will be connected in
one common radiology IT solution called NIPACS.

In October last year, Sectra signed a 31 million GBP contract with the
Department of Health to provide an integrated solution for digital management of
all radiology information and images throughout the entire public healthcare
system in Northern Ireland. 

 “I have been very impressed by the magnificent equipment which really is of the
highest specification, and its proven potential for improving services”, says
Michael McGimpsey, the Minister for Health, Social Services and Public Safety in
Northern Ireland. “This will result in quicker diagnosis and treatment for
patients, and will contribute to a much more efficient and productive health and
social care system”.
