Hawkins' leadership is expected to drive significant improvements in how healthcare services are delivered, making SPARK Fusion® an indispensable tool for modernising the NHS.
The power of SPARK Fusion®
SPARK Fusion® isn't just any patient engagement platform—it's a comprehensive, Apple iPad solution at the bedside, designed to seamlessly integrate with core IT systems via HL7 messaging. This modern and reliable app-based platform is centred around delivering efficiency, communication, entertainment, and information services for both staff and patients to save money and improve experience.
Meet David
David Hawkins, who joins SPARK TSL from one of its partners, has extensive knowledge and experience in driving strategic joint growth. In previous roles, he focused on launching new innovative products to wholesale/reseller markets, building sales strategies, and increasing routes-to-market through gaining trusted adviser status with partners.
David said he is particularly excited about SPARK TSL's mission to enhance NHS productivity by leveraging existing infrastructure. According to Hawkins, SPARK Fusion® offers immense potential for digital transformation within healthcare.
"SPARK TSL is a different kind of company. It is a telecoms provider that has moved into software that can be used at the hospital bedside to deliver services that improve efficiency and outcomes," he said.
Matt O'Donovan, group leader of SPARK TSL, said: "David's appointment demonstrates our commitment to SPARK Fusion® and to making sure as many trusts and health boards as possible can benefit from it.
"David understands technology and the benefits that it can bring to services, staff and patients, which is the focus of SPARK Fusion®. The NHS is crying out for innovation that can work with its existing systems and infrastructure to deliver real and quantifiable improvements to productivity.
"SPARK Fusion® absolutely fits the bill, and like David, I look forward to seeing more and more trusts and health boards both adopting it and seeing the benefits."
