Healthcare is evolving through digitalisation and widening network capacity whilst simultaneously collecting a greater range and depth of data. The NHS is the largest integrated healthcare provider in the world with a supply chain consisting of more than 80,000 suppliers.

The current heightened political tensions and state sponsored cyber-crime only add fuel to this already challenging mix.
