An integrated EPR for UK independent hospitals and clinics
In the UK, hospital software is usually described as an electronic patient record (EPR) and a patient administration system (PAS). TechPro combines both, with billing for insured and self-pay patients, which is what independent-sector providers need.
We are not an NHS supplier today. This page explains where TechPro could fit and what we would need to prove first.

The independent sector's software problem
NHS trusts buy large EPRs through national frameworks. Independent hospitals, private clinics and diagnostic providers have different needs: self-pay and insured billing with UK private medical insurers, consultant practice arrangements, and a growing share of NHS-funded activity that must still meet NHS information standards.
Regulation is mature. The Care Quality Commission inspects providers, the Data Security and Protection Toolkit (DSPT) applies to organisations handling NHS patient data, and clinical risk management standards DCB0129 and DCB0160 apply to manufacturers and deployers of health IT. Personal data is governed by UK GDPR and the Data Protection Act 2018, as amended by the Data (Use and Access) Act 2025.
What UK independent providers expect
Insurer and self-pay billing
Pre-authorisation and billing with private medical insurers, plus transparent self-pay packages.
Consultant workflows
Consultants with practising privileges working across sites.
NHS-funded activity
Standards and data flows for NHS work done in the independent sector.
Clinical safety case
A manufacturer's DCB0129 safety case and support for the provider's DCB0160.
Information governance
DSPT, Cyber Essentials and UK GDPR evidence.
Diagnostics
Imaging and pathology with RadioMind PACS and TechPro LIS.
UK assurance a buyer will ask for
| Area | What applies | How TechPro approaches it |
|---|---|---|
| Personal data | UK GDPR, Data Protection Act 2018, Data (Use and Access) Act 2025 | Consent, access controls, audit trails, DPIA support |
| Clinical safety | DCB0129 (manufacturer) and DCB0160 (deployer) | Not yet in place; a UK clinical safety case would be required |
| Information governance | Data Security and Protection Toolkit; Cyber Essentials Plus often required | ISO 27001-based controls; UK certifications to be obtained |
| Digital assessment | Digital Technology Assessment Criteria (DTAC) for NHS-facing work | To be assessed |
| Medical devices | MHRA rules where software is a medical device | AI features reviewed before enabling |
A summary for orientation, not legal advice. Each requirement is confirmed with local counsel during scoping.
Where TechPro could fit, honestly
The strongest fit is a private clinic group, day-surgery centre or diagnostic provider that wants one system for patient administration, clinical records, billing and imaging, and finds enterprise EPRs too heavy.
Before any UK go-live we would need a DCB0129 clinical safety case, DSPT and Cyber Essentials Plus, UK-specific insurer workflows, NHS number and SNOMED CT-based coding, and UK hosting. These are significant and we would scope them openly.
What we would need to show a UK buyer
A DCB0129 clinical safety case with a named clinical safety officer, DSPT completion, Cyber Essentials Plus, a DPIA template for the provider, UK hosting, and references. Until those exist, we would not propose a live UK deployment. A pilot with a diagnostic or clinic group under a joint safety case is the most realistic first step.
