SynApps Solutions Goes Live with Integrated Cloud Lung Screening platform for the NHS’s Lung Cancer Screening Programme

Dec 2025

Hatfield, UK – December 9th – SynApps Solutions, the content management and intelligent automation specialist has today announced the go-live of a fully integrated, cloud-based reporting platform designed to support high-volume lung screening across the NHS Lung Cancer Screening (LCS) programme. The first customer, Surrey and Sussex, went live on 1 November.

Over the past year, SynApps and MeVis Medical Solutions have worked closely with The HLH Imaging Group to integrate the cloud version of MeVis’s Veolity AI/CAD platform into HLH’s teleradiology service. The result is a streamlined, end-to-end reporting environment that brings imaging, CAD/AI outputs and radiologist workflows into a single, efficient system for reviewing LCS cases.

The purpose of the partnership is to deliver a managed, scalable cloud service that can support the real-world pressures of large lung screening programmes. By automating key steps in the reporting workflow and reducing operational overhead, the platform enables faster, more consistent case review at lower cost — an approach that becomes increasingly important as LCS volumes continue to rise across the UK.

Jason Scholes, CTO at SynApps Solutions, said:

“Lung screening at this scale only works when the technology gets out of the way and lets clinicians focus on the decisions that matter. By running Veolity as a managed cloud service and integrating it directly into HLH’s workflow, we’re giving radiologists a faster, cleaner path through each case. It’s exactly the kind of practical improvement the LCS programme needs as volumes continue to grow.”

The joint SynApps–MeVis–HLH solution is designed to scale as further LCS programmes are established, providing a robust model for national lung screening.

SynApps Solutions is DCB0129 Compliant

DCB0129 is a clinical risk management standard developed by NHS Digital, focused on ensuring the safety of health IT systems used in clinical settings. It sets out requirements for software providers like SynApps Solution covering how they should assess and manage risks associated with our digital health solutions. Compliance involves creating a Clinical Risk Management Plan, Hazard Log, and Clinical Safety Case Report, all overseen by a Clinical Safety Officer (CSO).

For SynApps Solutions Limited, a provider of enterprise content management and digital patient record systems, DCB0129 compliance ensures that our software meets NHS clinical safety standards. Our solutions enable healthcare providers to digitise and manage patient records safely and efficiently, supporting better care and cost savings by retiring outdated systems. DCB0129 compliance allows SynApps to integrate seamlessly with NHS systems and adhere to critical safety and interoperability standards, such as those for electronic patient records (EPR) and Fast Healthcare Interoperability Resources (FHIR). All our Healthcare solutions come with DCB0129 documentation which is maintained by our Clinical Safety Officer.

SynApps Solutions awarded to the new National Framework Agreement for Legacy Information Integration and Management

Jul 2023

Hatfield, UK – July 18^th , 2023 – SynApps Solutions, the enterprise content management specialist with deep experience across the NHS, has announced that it has been named as one of six suppliers to the £150 million contract following the launch of a new framework agreement, designed to allow NHS trusts to procure legacy information and management solutions.

The framework, managed by the Commercial Procurement Service and set to run until 2027, is expected to meet the challenges presented by migrating from one patient administration system to an EPR. It allows for the procurement of a cloud-based or on-site archive which interfaces directly with a live EPR, so clinicians can access archived clinical patient data seamlessly from within the live EPR.

The data is then extracted, analysed and migrated to the new system, ensuring the data is usable in the new system. Data can be extracted from multiple systems and aggregated into one archive, simplifying access where multiple systems may have been in place previously. The archive and the live EPR will interface directly, and access to the archived data is available within the new EPR system, streamlining access and allowing the legacy contracts to be ended.

The Countess of Chester Hospital NHS Foundation Trust’s Commercial Procurement Services recognised the challenges faced by many NHS organisations around how to deal with legacy applications and data; thus, creating the new framework agreement to enable NHS Trusts to purchase solutions and services to help tackle these issues.

“We are delighted to be one of only six vendors on this framework, which will help clinicians access archived data and patient information seamlessly from within their EPR,” comments Jason Scholes, CTO, SynApps Solutions. “SynApps is transforming the way NHS Trusts provide the whole patient record (DICOM/non-DICOM) to clinicians via existing EPR systems and share the records with other healthcare providers in the local community so this Framework is a natural fit for us.”

SynApps provides software, consultancy, implementation and support services for Alfresco and OpenText Documentum and has authored a suite of content integration and migration solutions, ConXApps, that allow businesses to quickly maximise their investment in ECM technologies. The company also builds VNA (Vendor Neutral Archive) solutions which extend into VNIN (Vendor Neutral Imaging Networks) for shared Radiology. These provide proactive image sharing, cross-network reporting, CDC support, a single view of multimedia data, and image sharing within and beyond regional imaging networks, leading to enhanced patient diagnoses and outcomes.

SynApps Solutions is also part of several other government frameworks, including NHS Supplychain, QE Facilities, and the North of England Framework.
