HSCN - Get Connected to the Health and Social Care Network

Reliable, secure, affordable connectivity

Having a robust and secure connection is more than important; it's critical.

NHS Digital's Health and Social Care Network is a modern, multi-supplier replacement of the legacy single-supplier N3 network. The new network ensures a more cost-effective way to connect your organisation and share information with other health and social care organisations, securely. 

As an accredited HSCN connectivity supplier, we can deliver seamless connectivity to organisations including health-focused startups, Health/Medical SaaS providers, online pharmacies and other healthcare service providers.
