Technology
Modern healthcare relies heavily on technology, from the array of specific clinical systems, to patient administration systems, wide area networks, through to voice communication systems. Purchasers of technology systems in the sector share the same concerns as private sector purchasers, namely making sure the system works, goes live on time and on budget, and is updated and maintained at a fair price. However, NHS purchasers also need to comply with public procurement rules and have particular concerns on the protection of patient data.
At Brodies, our technology team understands these dual requirements, and our lawyers are experienced in balancing the project risks in technology procurements to produce the best result for our client. The team has considerable experience acting for both purchasers and sellers, and has acted in a number of ground-breaking transactions in the NHS, both in England and in Scotland. The team also advises on data protection, patient information safeguards and intellectual property rights.
