Amaxus to drive 7000-user NHS Trust Intranet
Box UK is to implement Amaxus to drive an Intranet for one of the largest NHS Trusts in the country.
The 7000-user Intranet will enable Sandwell and West Birmingham Hospitals NHS Trust to produce and publish clinical information, share clinical governance, provide training and reference material to medical staff, and share and disseminate information to its thousands of staff.
Amaxus will supersede the clinical governance system previously developed for the Trust by Box UK.
