Customer Testimonials
1. “The Somerset Cancer Register continues to be an invaluable system in supporting our cancer tracking and operational processes. The introduction of products such as eImport has made a significant difference to administrative workflows, saving considerable staff time by reducing manual data entry and improving efficiency.
Somerset’s robust reporting and data capabilities have been instrumental in strengthening our service development. In particular, the reporting outputs supported a successful business case to secure a Navigator post, clearly demonstrating need and impact.
Additionally, the user guides available through the learning portal are extremely well designed and easy to follow. They provide practical, accessible support for staff (including new and existing staff) and enhance confidence in using the system effectively.
The development of eTertiary brings clear benefits and is being considered by our trust, particularly in supporting the streamlining of Inter-Provider Transfers (IPTs) between trusts. I can see its functionality would help to minimise queries and data discrepancies, improving data quality and enabling more seamless collaboration across organisations.
Overall, Somerset continues to evolve in ways that directly support frontline teams, improve data accuracy, and drive service improvements” Stacey Ballands, Cancer Tracking & Information Manager Northumbria Healthcare NHS Foundation Trust – 2026
2. “Remote Monitoring has removed a large volume of patients from outpatient clinics, made follow up more convenient for patients and given us certainty the follow up is safe” Roger Kockelbergh, Professor of Urology (Honorary) Consultant Urological Surgeon
3. “I would like to just write to you all as we approach our 10-year anniversary with you in November 2024. I do believe that right from the start of our journey together which was at least two years before “Go-Live” with the Demo & Test sites, we have received a first-class service and support from you. As SCR System Admin for the Trust, I have always felt fully supported by you especially when calling the helpline when my opening line would be “I’m rocking in the corner” – Caroline instantly knew who I was!
Being involved in helping to shape and test was certainly a novelty for us at the beginning but what foresight you had, to involve users and bring us along with you on your development journeys! To the next 10 years, thank you.” 2024 – Assistant Cancer Services Manager, Hillingdon Hospitals NHS Trust, London
