The new system will be delivered through the Nova Programme, alongside our commercial partners for this significant transformative journey.
At the heart of our ambitious programme is a commitment to people – our patients, our staff and our community. We believe that the key to successful innovation lies in fostering a supportive, inclusive culture that values every individual’s contribution.
