Situation
Innovate UK and the NHS were looking for secure and fast ways of helping staff get back to work following the Pandemic. They were looking for a team that could support in the development, design and project management of the initiative, that also had Innovate UK experience and governance maturity.

Obstacles
During the pandemic it was crucial that staff were able to get back to work in a secure, cost-effective way. To ensure fast and non-fungible certification of test and health status, training documentation etc., a Digital Certificate Sharing Platform for the ecosystem of NHS staff, hospitals and agencies was developed based on Distributed Ledger Technology (DLT, also known as Blockchain).

Actions
NuForm provided development, design and a governance and engagement model to ensure that the project was delivered on time and to high quality standards that met Innovate UK requirements.

Results
The project was delivered successfully, on time and on budget.
