University Hospitals Coventry and Warwickshire NHS Trust (UHCW) are working with i-nexus to streamline project management - here's what you need to know about how we're helping the NHS Trust.
University Hospitals Coventry and Warwickshire NHS Trust are one of the largest Teaching Trusts in the UK. The Trust comprises two hospitals (University Hospital, Coventry and St. Cross Hospital, Rugby) serving a population of over a million people.
UHCW employs over 8,700 staff and delivers acute healthcare to the population of Coventry & Rugby as well as more specialist services to that population and regionally.
The University Hospital site is one of the most modern healthcare facilities in Europe with 1,005 beds and 26 operating theatres. The facility in Rugby has 110 beds and six operating theatres, including one mobile theatre.

UHCW turned to i-nexus to provide a 360 view of the organisation so leaders at UHCW could align strategy, track benefits, manage resources and risks, as well as prioritise activities that provide the biggest benefits.
During the onboarding phase, i-nexus helped the NHS to identify a single source of the truth.
We identified 23 separate business units and 78 roles that could benefit from a technology solution to grant them visibility of ideas and projects across the organisation.
This work has helped to eliminate many inconsistent and unreliable working practices, lists, spreadsheets and KPI tracking approaches.
i-nexus worked with UHCW to implement an organisation-wide technology solution that:
