29th March - RPA Project Showcase

As part of the NDL Transform Online Series, we bring to you…

RPA Project Showcase - led by Newcastle City Council & Bradford Teaching Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust

Join frontline digitisation experts from Newcastle City Council & Bradford Teaching Hospitals NHS for an exclusive online Project Showcase, focusing on harnessing the power of Robotic Process Automation (RPA) – from early project mechanics to proven and lasting automation-first operations.

During the session, hosts from pioneering UK health and local government delve into real-world automation, uniquely offering two perspectives – from pre-live key project considerations and approach from a Trust in the infancy of its RPA journey, to a multi-project RPA catalogue of deployments spanning eight years at a north-east council.

Hosts will share planning insights for integrating GP secondary care eReferrals from the national eRS system into a trusts EPR, and the long-term value in deploying RPA successfully – with specific impact in Social Care. Both organisations will delve into the fundamental practices of using low-code RPA technology to save time, manage complexity and transform services for the better.
