Imprivata Virtual Smartcard is now assured for use by NHS Trusts

Imprivata OneSign Spine Combined Workflow Plus replaces the need for physical smartcards – streamlining clinical workflows at NHS pilot site

London, England– September 21, 2022—Imprivata® has achieved full assurance from NHS Digital for Imprivata OneSign® Spine Combined Workflow Plus which includes Imprivata Virtual Smartcard. As part of the assurance process, the virtual smartcard solution was successfully piloted at South Tees Hospitals NHS FT, where there was enthusiastic user adoption as it was proven to dramatically reduce time to login to the NHS Spine. The solution also reduces the number of logins required during a shift and streamlines clinical workflows, reducing the barrier to technology, and releasing clinicians’ time and attention back to patient care. A second pilot at an NHS Trust in the South of England is also successfully complete.

The Gracious Queen and The Woke Vultures

I had the best reasons for hating him. My family was a staunch supporter of the monarchy of King Idris I. We were an integral part of that system of governance, and we identified with it politically and ideologically.

BY JOHN ODEY ADUMA

Queen Elizabeth, mother of many nations

And once Queen of the world during the British empire.

As your birth into nobility was predestined,

So was your noble role in world affairs.

Ever since your coronation in 1953, Elizabeth,

You have in quiet dignity bestridden

World affairs like a colossus

With world leaders quaking

Before your awesome presence.

Though the British empire be dead and buried,

The world still stands in awe of your power and majesty.
