Public health services

Protecting populations from getting sick and eradicating disease is a global priority. Positive lessons have been learned during COVID-19, particularly the speed with which the NHS embraced digital solutions and delivered a successful vaccination programme.

Our dedicated, managed, end-to-end transformational service focuses on the prevention agenda. Supporting national COVID-19 and winter flu vaccination programmes, and using digital support to identify the right people at the right time, we will work with you to ensure vaccination and screening programmes are most effective and provide support to encourage uptake.

The team's key goals are to reduce variation concerning access to services, reduce health inequalities and improve immunisation and screening uptake.
