e18, a leading provider of Automation solutions, is delighted to announce a new partnership with Bradford Teaching Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust and Harrogate and District NHS Foundation Trust to deliver automation solutions that will transform their administrative processes and improve staff efficiency.
In every Acute NHS Trust, many repetitive and time-consuming administrative tasks are undertaken daily, consuming both clinical and non-clinical staff time. These inefficient processes not only represent a high proportion of staff workload but also contribute to an overall poor user experience for NHS staff. In any manual, administrative process, human error is prevalent, which in a clinical setting leads to avoidable clinical risk.
As a result, e18 has been working with over 50 NHS trusts across the UK, including neighbouring trusts The Leeds Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust and Calderdale and Huddersfield NHS Foundation Trust, to implement RPA and automate administrative tasks, freeing up staff time and improving efficiency. e18’s expertise in this area and ability to support trusts through the change management process with a sole focus on customer success and delivering value for the public purse have made them the trusted partner for many NHS organisations.
The adoption of RPA has become increasingly widespread in recent years, with 61% of all Acute trusts and 42 Integrated Care Systems currently using RPA, according to the NHS Transformation Directorate. NHSE’s Digital Productivity Programme also lists RPA as one of its key projects, aiming to improve productivity across the NHS, reduce the burden on the workforce, save time, lower costs, reduce waste, and increase patient and staff satisfaction.
e18 is a team of highly experienced and trusted individuals who are passionate about providing the best possible service to our NHS clients. We take a results-based approach to every project, ensuring that each one is delivered successfully and with the greatest impact. e18 has a unique model that focuses on delivering the best value for the public purse and providing commercial models to fit their customer’s needs. Their commitment to customer success and delivering real value has made them a trusted partner for many NHS organisations across the UK. With a deep understanding of the NHS and extensive experience in implementing automation solutions, e18 is well-positioned to help Bradford Teaching Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust and Harrogate and District NHS Foundation Trust achieve their goals and transform their administrative processes for the better.
Bradford Teaching Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust is an acute care hospital with over 6,000 staff members. It provides a wide range of services to patients, including emergency care, surgery, and specialist services for children, women, and cancer patients. The Trust is committed to providing high-quality care to patients and improving their experience.
“We are thrilled to be partnering with e18 to implement Blue Prism automation software that will transform our administrative processes and improve staff efficiency. As Bradford uses the same EPR system as our neighbouring trust, Calderdale and Huddersfield, we are confident that replicating their successful implementation of RPA with e18 will deliver best value for money and speed to deliver a return on investment for our Trust. Throughout the selection process, e18 was responsive and demonstrated a willingness to ensure that the commercial model met our needs. We look forward to a successful partnership with e18 Team.”
Aubrey Sitch – Programme Manager – Bradford Teaching Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust

“We chose to partner with e18 because of their extensive experience and solid reputation as experts in implementing automation solutions in the NHS.
