Why innovators choose Syntura
Built for NHS-connected innovators
Syntura is not a generic connectivity provider. We work with MedTech and HealthTech companies that need to get NHS-ready quickly, satisfy supplier assurance requirements, and scale without switching provider later.
80+ live Health Innovator customers
The UK’s most validated MSP for NHS-connected technology companies, from pre-revenue pilots to national deployments.
Accredited CN-SP — no third-party routing
Direct HSCN peering from our own infrastructure in London and Manchester. Your data never leaves the UK.
One provider as you grow
Start with HSCN. Add security and cloud services later. No re-tendering, no provider migration as your NHS customer base expands.
Cloud connections in hours
Cloud-hosted platforms connect to HSCN in hours. Don’t let connectivity be the bottleneck on your NHS pilot or first deployment.
NHS compliance handled end to end
We manage the HSCN Connection Agreement, managed firewall requirement, and NHS Digital accreditation requirements on your behalf.
Named account management
A real person who knows your organisation. Advise, Design, Deploy, Optimise. We stay with you well beyond go-live.
We speak your language
Whatever your role, we’ve solved this before.
With 80+ live Health Innovator customers, we’ve seen every challenge that comes with building and scaling inside the NHS. Here’s what that means for your team.
CTO & Engineering
You’re building fast. The last thing you need is NHS infrastructure complexity pulling your team away from the product. “We handle the infrastructure complexity of operating inside the NHS — so your team can focus on the product, not the plumbing.”
CFO & Finance
As your NHS customer base grows, so does your cloud footprint — and the bills that come with it. Unmanaged egress costs catch most health innovators off guard. “As your data volumes grow, so do your cloud bills. We architect the right mix of public and private cloud to keep costs predictable as you scale.”
Compliance & Information Governance
NHS procurement teams scrutinise your security posture. DSPT submissions, Cyber Essentials audits, and supplier assurance reviews all start with your infrastructure. “HSCN certified, GDPR-compliant, DSPT-aware. One supplier managing the security posture between your product and the NHS.”
Clinical Ops & IT Directors
Practitioners need to access your platform from any site, any device. Legacy VPN setups create IT overhead, access delays, and frustrated clinicians. “Practitioners access your platform from any site, any device — securely, without VPN complexity or IT tickets.”
Why HSCN matters
No HSCN means no access to NHS systems.
The Health and Social Care Network is the secure managed IP network that connects NHS and care organisations across England. If your product needs to reach NHS Spine, EMIS, SystmOne, PACS, EPS, or other NHS-hosted systems, it needs an HSCN connection through an accredited provider. Syntura provides the core services required to get you live quickly and compliantly: HSCN gateway, managed firewall, access circuit, cloud interconnect, and 24/7 monitoring.
HSCN Gateway & Managed Firewall
Secure, guaranteed-bandwidth connectivity with an NHS-compliant managed firewall as standard.
Cloud Interconnect
Private connectivity to AWS, Azure, and GCP for high-volume NHS data workloads.
24/7 UK NOC Monitoring
In-house monitoring and support, plus 99.95% single-circuit and 100% dual-circuit SLA options.
Connect. Secure. Scale.
HSCN gets you in. The rest helps you grow.
Most innovators start with HSCN because it is the immediate requirement. As your NHS footprint grows, the surrounding infrastructure matters just as much.
