The Wrightington, Wigan and Leigh NHS Foundation Trust’s Excellence in Supply Awards 2012 distinguish where suppliers and partners to the Hospital have made a difference to the quality of patient care and the delivery of front line services.
“On behalf of GHX and our entire UK team, I am delighted to accept this award,” said Jason Hale, Managing Director, GHX UK Ltd. “We believe passionately that better use of technology can both save the NHS money and simultaneously empower the delivery of improved patient care. We have the opportunity to effect real change in the business of healthcare and that’s what drives this team every day.”
