In October 2000, a joint IM&T Strategy for the Manchester
Children’s Hospitals and the Central Manchester Hospitals was
approved by the two Trust Boards. The IM&T Strategy includes a
major procurement for Trust-wide clinical systems.
A Business Case to support a £550,000 investment in the two
Children’s Hospitals local networks was supported and approved.
The network includes:
● A high-speed cabling backbone at each hospital site with
network access points available in Wards and Offices.
● A direct link between the two Children’s Hospitals, which has
been installed, along with a link from each hospital to
Manchester Royal Infirmary.
● The new network will support data, telemedicine and video
conferencing and will provide a robust and resilient network
infrastructure, which will facilitate delivery of hospital
services to Clinicians and support staff.
In addition to the network investment, a number of computers
have been purchased which will provide additional E-mail and
NHSnet access for clinical staff. This will help us to achieve the
first target outlined in the national NHS policy, Building the
Information Core - Implementing the NHS Plan.
