 System C Healthcare signs new deal to provide IT specialists to Connecting for
                                     Health

System C Healthcare has signed a major new contract to provide experienced
healthcare IT deployment specialists to the government's NHS Connecting for
Health agency.

Under a framework contract with consultancy services specialist QI Consulting,
System C will provide specialist support to NHS Connecting for Health's Central
Deployment Support Team. This team is responsible for helping NHS Trusts
implement the National Programme for IT and transfer knowledge and skills to
Trust staff.

System C's healthcare IT experts are already working directly for Local Service
Providers and Trusts across the country. They have helped implement a wide range
of solutions in areas such as patient administration, child health, primary
care, theatres, results reporting, order communications, Single Assessment
Process (SAP), Picture Archiving (PACS) and decision support systems.

The new contract is a flexible and cost effective performance-based framework
agreement which allows NHS Connecting for Health to draw on the company's
specific specialist expertise to support the go-live process as and when
required.

System C employees each have an average of over 15 years' healthcare computing
experience covering all aspects of implementation including design, programme/
project management, data migration, interfacing, testing, training and user
support. For NHS Connecting for Health, they will be delivering practical
hands-on assistance resolving issues, sharing experience and filling short-term
resource gaps.

Clare Mitchell, Chief Deployment Officer at NHS Connecting for Health said:
"System C has successfully begun to support Trusts in robustly preparing for
go-lives, through being an integral part of the deployment team available for
SHAs to call on. This framework lets us apply their considerable knowledge and
experience directly to help trusts meet their rollout plans for the coming
year."

System C CEO, Ian Denley, said: "The National Programme is clearly accelerating
and there has been a significant increase in the number of acute deployments
over recent months.  The forward plan is very exciting and we are extremely
pleased to be able to support NHS Connecting for Health deployments in such a
direct manner."
