Why customers choose us

Our markets 

The changing shape of NHS strategy places technology at the centre. EMIS Group continues to align its strategies with planned and published government policy on healthcare and technology. 

The situation for the NHS is complex: increasing demand through ageing populations and multiple long-term conditions, along with an unswerving commitment to offer the best quality of care, is challenged by the drive for efficiency and limits on available funding. Technology is increasingly proving to be the answer, with NHS IT programmes and funding streams created to invest in technology to address this challenge. Technology from EMIS Group can make a real difference, specifically in the areas of integrated care, medicines management and digitally enabled patient care.
