The Ambulance Radio Programme (ARP) is transforming the way the ambulance services communicate, from the critical systems in the ambulances, response vehicles, their hand-held radios, and the dispatch application in the control room.
With just one Trust to go with the Mobile Data and Vehicle Solution rollout, and four Trusts remaining to go live, with Control Room Solution, the two important national programmes are well underway. There is plenty of learning and experiences to share when it comes to the delivery of technology projects and the programmes. Join the ARP Team for an insider view.
