An ecosystem

of technology and

healthcare partners

Drawing on the expertise, funding and principles of the Cisco CDA programme, The Lister Alliance works with a wide range of partners to help shape the future of healthcare technology.

Our partner ecosystem ensures any deployments serve the priorities of government and the NHS while meeting the needs of the people who will encounter and use technology on a day-to-day basis.

Working from the bottom-up and honing in on the specific challenges associated with distinct Trusts and healthcare workflows, we developed a detailed, first-hand understanding of how constituent parts of the NHS work and how technology can make them better.

 

 Here are the partners which make up our ecosystem:
