Power Apps in the NHS

A measurement for improvement workshop for health-centred environments

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.
