The Royal Cornwall Hospital NHS Trust trials LAMP testing with Liberty Create
The Royal Cornwall Hospitals NHS Trust (RCHT) employs five thousand people at three hospitals. Early in 2020, the Trust was chosen to be a Phase 2 trial site for the LAMP test — a simple all-in-one saliva test to detect Covid-19, giving results in 30 minutes, offering huge potential for mass testing.
Of course, the Trust already had Covid-19 testing in place to be sure staff were safe to be at work. All of their staff were regularly taking lateral flow tests and entering their test results on a system based on Microsoft 365. This was working, but the system wasn’t built to allow the Trust to record LAMP test results too.
The LAMP trial was starting in literally a few weeks. The Trust’s e-Health Transformation Manager knew about Liberty Create, our low-code platform, and how is it used to build apps ten times as fast as usual. The Trust approached Netcall to see if they could build a new solution together in time for the first LAMP tests.
“Using Liberty Create has opened our eyes to the potential of low-code. As we work with Netcall across a wide range of transformational activities, we will consider how else this can be used.”

“We received fantastic support from the Netcall project team and the solution was delivered ahead of the lab being ready. Our own agile collaboration approach meant we could identify any fixes we needed very fast. The turnaround and speed of change was really good. We enjoyed a very a-typical supplier experience.”

University Hospitals Birmingham NHS Foundation Trust joined with Heart of England NHS Foundation Trust – they now had multiple legacy IT and telephony systems that were heavy on resource support and with high annual costs, and most were held on-premise.
The hospital wanted to expand their use of RPA and they looked at dispensing prescription medication. It’s vital that patients are given the correct medication, especially those with severe allergies.
The Patient Administration System was being updated to give more flexibility to meet patient and staff needs, but the Trust wanted to enable more ways for patients to engage digitally with clinical services – and their contact centre solution was reaching capacity.
