Our Vision: Is that all teams across UKHSA work with technology and tools in a consistent way with fast, secure and efficient access through Single Sign-On (SSO) and their unified UKHSA identity. Teams collaborate seamlessly through use of a consolidated and optimised tool offering and we foster a culture for innovation and continuous improvementimprovement.
Welcome
"Since bringing together the former Public Health England (PHE), NHS Test & Trace (T&T) and Joint Biosecurity Centre (JBC) organisations, UKHSA inherits a technology landscape that is complex, fragmented and duplicates effort. This means it is often inefficient, costly and is not fit for our future user needs.
A core objective of my role as DD of Development & Operations is to establish a world-class technology offering within the increasing demand to deliver more for less. This means providing all teams within UKHSA with a technology and tools infrastructure that is efficient, reliable and sets clear processes and consistent ways of working across all our teams."
Raj Metha, DD of Development & Operations
