Power Apps offer NHS Trust’s the opportunity to develop customisable, low-code applications that streamline manual processes supporting both staff and patients. What would have taken several months, Power Apps enable NHS Trusts to develop feature-rich workflow applications that run in both browser and on mobile devices in a matter of weeks.
In this webinar, Cloud2, a BCN Group Company will introduce Power Apps and their application within health-centred environments. Alongside Fraser Dear and Andy James from Cloud2, special guest Jon Lawton, Head of Business Development Informatics at the Northern Care Alliance (NCA) NHS FT will discuss two applications developed for the NCA and the impact they have had on streamlining two core processes; Cancer identification and in-patient bed management.
In addition to the two application demos, Fraser will draw out the process of developing Power Apps on a virtual whiteboard, how you can turn an idea into reality.

I’ve been in the NHS now for 35 years since leaving school working across provider, health authority and community with the majority of my career working in large acute hospitals. My roles have included medical records, finance, contracting and information. I have worked in the Information and Digital arena since 1998 and seen a wide variety of technology changes and programmes including national programme for IT and the formation of NHS Information of what we know today which used to be called Resource Management. Since working for Northern Care Alliance (formerly Salford Royal NHS FT) since 2008 I have successfully managed most of the teams that make up an Informatics service today including information and business analytics, data warehouse, corporate performance, clinical coding, data quality, child health information systems, PAS system management and information systems including SharePoint. Today, I manage a small team predominately responsible for the administration, development and maintenance of the several SharePoint farms and also development of business applications on the Microsoft Power Platform including Power BI, Power Apps, Power Automate and Power Virtual Agents. My other key involvements in the organisation is the overseeing of systems, reporting and guidance on Referral to Treatment and to provide the organisation with knowledge and expertise on NHS Data Standards.
