How we span the public and private sectors
Our vision has always been to provide services that the NHS feels are of high quality, beyond reproach and value for money as such SCHIN is a not-for-profit company. However not-for-profit status does not enable effective commercial arrangements such as innovative development through investment and in advance of NHS service needs.
SCHIN has a partner company i4u Ltd which provides our commercial facing offerings of services and innovative products. Through i4u Ltd the group has achieved several commercial awards including:
- 2005 DTI Small Business Service Exceptional R&D Award
- 2007 Tyneside and Northumberland Business Award for Technology
- 2007 North East Business Award for Technology
- 2007 NECC – The Microsoft Impact of Technology award
- 2007 British Chamber of Commerce – Impact of Technology award – National Finalist.
