Hampshire Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust employs around 8,600 staff, and provides services from Andover War Memorial Hospital, Basingstoke and North Hampshire Hospital, and the Royal Hampshire County Hospital.
The Trust currently employs the Check-in, Flow Manager, and Calling solutions at two of their hospitals.
