Have you read our January newsletter, the Hub Update, yet? It contains all the Hub’s latest news and updates as well as details of events and training opportunities.  In this issue we shine the spotlight on our Data team and how data enables and empowers procurement teams to make well-informed decisions.

In the newsletter’s introduction, Darren McVee, Assistant Director – Operations, writes: ‘Data is crucial.  Data allows our teams to identify cost-saving opportunities and supply frameworks to enable the NHS to reduce costs, increase efficiency and ultimately benefit the patient. Our systems can help to streamline procurement processes by automating routine tasks, reducing manual errors, and improving efficiency by making important information accessible.’
