Anne Webster, Project Lead NHS England“Working closely with Formic throughout this project has been essential for its success. It feels very much like they are part of the team, and our ability to closely collaborate has been vital in getting the tools right to being responsive to providers with regards to access to their dashboards. Also I would say that Formic’s experience of working in this sector before and on clinical audits has been invaluable.”
