The UK’s First Remote Access Solution to use NHSMail Single Sign-On

Prior to the pandemic, North West London CCG urgently required a new centralised remote access service for up to 6000 Primary Care users. Our innovative NHSMail single sign-on remote access service delivered a quick and simple to deploy solution at a fraction of the cost of other options in a fraction of the time.

NorthWest London CCG delivers Primary Care into approx. 500 sites and supports up to 6000 Primary Care users in their service delivery. As such they urgently needed a new, more robust, and secure solution to their existing remote access platform. Facing extremely high license renewal costs, support issues and security concerns they required a new direction for this critical service at a critical time.

North West London CCG approached us knowing of our work with network infrastructures and specifically the work we were doing with digital identities. It was a natural fit with the customer looking to innovate new and fresh ideas into their service delivery. They asked us to deliver an on-site version of our remote access with a view to consume our cloud-based Healthroam Remote.

Delivered just prior to the Covid outbreak, the solution proved to be a huge success for the Primary Care service particularly in dealing with the extra pressures on healthcare during the Pandemic. This served as a major proving ground for the Healthroam Remote service and has now been supporting remote access to around 6000 Primary Care users daily for nearly three years!
