The Health and Social Care Network (HSCN), replacement to the N3 network, provides a secure platform to access and exchange information reducing costs and complexity across the board.

Redcentric is a HSCN consumer network service provider (CN-SP), permitting us to connect both your IT infrastructure and your people securely onto the HSCN network.

Reduce the cost, time and knowledge burden required within your own organisation and be led through the entire HSCN on-boarding process by experts in the field, our dedicated HSCN Governance team. The team will manage the entire project, providing support and guidance throughout to ensure you meet your HSCN connectivity and security obligations. Risk and complexity will be removed with solution design in place and business gaps mitigated ensuring your organisations compliance, allowing you to focus on your own priorities.

We’re providing HSCN connectivity to 107 Avicenna pharmacy sites. As the second largest provider of HSCN connectivity in the UK, we have unrivalled experience in the healthcare sector.

HSCN secure remote access

Provide all users, whether NHS clinical staff or commercial third party employees, greater freedom to securely connect to HSCN network services, regardless of location via our HSCN secure remote access service (SRAS). Using advanced authentication and tunnel encryption, users can safely and quickly access key NHS systems and data including medical records, Electronic Prescriptions Service, digital imaging services and other clinical information from anywhere, offering better support for mobile working while delivering cost-efficiencies.

Our HSCN secure remote access uses a range of access solutions, incorporating two-factor authentication tokens based on hardware, software or a smart device.

Given this was something new and very high profile we were a little anxious but from the outset the engagement has only been positive. Network migration is one of Redcentric’s core competencies, it’s what they do; add in its longstanding relationship with NHS Digital, the deep engagement with the whole HSCN programme and extensive sector knowledge, and we felt much more confident about the transition. The quality of service delivery showed that confidence was not misplaced.
