Northumbria Healthcare NHS Foundation Trust acquires digital health company Health Call Solutions.

We’re delighted to share the news that Health Call has been brought into sole ownership of Northumbria Healthcare NHS Foundation Trust.

Health Call was founded in 2016 as a collaboration between seven Trusts: Cumbria, Northumberland, Tyne and Wear NHS Foundation Trust, County Durham and Darlington NHS Foundation Trust, Gateshead Health NHS Foundation Trust, Newcastle Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust, North Tees and Hartlepool Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust, Northumbria Healthcare NHS Foundation Trust and South Tees Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust. Our purpose is to share digital health expertise and resources to drive down the cost of health and care provision, whilst improving patient outcomes and staff experience.

It’s been through the collaboration and support of our partners at these Trusts that we now have an award-winning remote monitoring platform, VirtualCare, a cost-cutting Patient Engagement Portal, MyHealthCall PEP, and a patient questionnaire-building tool, FormFinity, that integrates seamlessly with the two. North East and North Cumbria regional Trusts will continue to hold a share in the organisation and we’re extremely grateful to our colleagues in these Trusts for all the invaluable testing, feedback and input they offer to our products.

Ian Dove, Managing Director at Health Call, says, “We are thrilled about the journey ahead as we work together to expand our reach across the NHS. This move aligns perfectly with Northumbria’s commitment to a forward-thinking digital strategy that aims to transform healthcare delivery.”

At Health Call, our mission remains the same as in 2016: to provide patients and NHS colleagues with access to innovative digital solutions at market-leading value for money. We are excited to work with Northumbria to now extend our reach nationally and invite NHS organisations to explore shareholder opportunities, allowing them to access and influence our cutting-edge digital health solutions moving forward.
