Hugh Symons has provided document conversion services to the NHS for more than 45 years, working with over 130 NHS Trusts. Initially we processed microfilm requirements and then, as technology evolved, document scanning services to specific departments through to Trust-wide scanning projects as part of wider digital transformation programmes.

​

We work with General Practices, CCGs, Acute NHS Trusts, Mental Health Trusts and Community NHS Trusts throughout the UK to help manage data more securely, efficiently and cost-effectively. Most of the time we provide a fully managed off-site secure scanning service to our NHS customers, but we have also set up on-site scanning where it has not been feasible to remove records for digitisation.

​

We have scanned over a billion images on high volume NHS Trust projects alone, and our knowledge and expertise in processing health records is built upon the vast experience of converting a wide range of document types from NHS organisations including:

General Medical Records

Ophthalmology

Learning Disability

Pharmacy

Patient Records

Physiotherapy

Sterile Services

Mental Health

Maternity

Lloyd George Envelopes

Accident & Emergency

Genito-Urinary

Sexual Health

Occupational Health

... And More

Our scanning locations are Police Approved Secure Facilities (PASF) and DBS checking is carried out on all staff prior to a contract of employment being offered. A number of staff have also been vetted to Non Police Personnel Vetting (NPPV) Level 2 and Level 3.

​

Hugh Symons is fully GDPR compliant and has extensive measures and processes in place to ensure that all our premises, staff, operations and systems comply with all of the key relevant standards that our NHS customers require, including:
