Hospital receives IT care from Connect-IP

Connect-IP has completed a contract at Great Ormond Street Hospital (GOSH), assisting with a major upgrade to the hospital's IT infrastructure.

The 12-month project was carried out in conjunction with Cisco specialists Block Solutions.

GOSH's IT system includes 5,000 users served by 65 communication rooms, across many departments such as Paediatric ICU, theatres and Pathology.

With ongoing developments in new technology and software to aid patient care, the hospital needed to modernise its fixed and wireless networks.

Connect-IP worked with the main network consultants Block Solutions, after both companies came together on a similar project for the Barnsley Hospital NHS Foundation Trust.

This project involved the upgrade of the communications rooms, linking all areas with fibre optic cables and installing a wireless network around the hospital.

Bob Allen, director at Connect-IP, commented: "Through the combined expertise of Block and Connect-IP, the hospital's advanced ICT systems now deliver a responsive, flexible and reliable service to the Trust.

"It has taken a year to complete and showcases our credentials in supporting IT redevelopment within the public sector".
