As integration with some of the large NHS IT suppliers comes closer and closer I am thinking more and more in-depth about what is the best way forward. Integration when I first started my business seemed to be the holy grail! It seemed to be the panacea to all of my problems.

NHS Hacked! The Great FHIR Wall Of The NHS Is Broken.
It's ironic how badly the NHS has been affected by ransomware. I've been having talks with people about this a lot recently. Right now my startup is jumping through hoops to comply with (outdated) data compliance issues and get access to the NHS N3 network, which is supposedly the NHS' secure server system. The actual… Continue reading NHS Hacked! The Great FHIR Wall Of The NHS Is Broken.
Go Big!

Before I started my startup I was under the illusion that there are companies out there that are truly innovative in every way. Before I actually read about how Google works, I thought it was an organisation filled with geniuses having loads of fun. The reality is very different. There is very little innovation in… Continue reading How Do I Find Out?
“Rich” People Are Actually Poor (And Thoughts About Startups)
There was an interesting article in the news today about how people who earn £70,000 and over are considered rich. I think that this is quite an accurate opinion and quite close to reality. Statistically it is definitely nearer the top of the population in one of the wealthiest countries in the world. What is… Continue reading “Rich” People Are Actually Poor (And Thoughts About Startups)
