SWFT: Contact Tracing

SMEs have the opportunity to work with South Warwickshire University NHS Foundation Trust (SWFT) to develop a next-generation A&E SWFT Contract Tracing prototype.

SWFT: Contact Tracing

          West Midlands Health and Wellbeing Innovation Network recently hosted a system wide workshop with a focus on integrated care for children and young people in Birmingham and Solihull. This was led in a very professional and effective manner. The team had clearly considered how to get to the outputs that were required from the day and I believe that working with WMHWIN has enabled BSol to move forward with this work, in a collaborative way, with a focus on the best outcomes for children and young people. I would not hesitate to work with WMHWIN again.
