Healthcare IT Infrastructure | GDPR Compliance | Self-Hosted Systems
Secure, affordable infrastructure for GP practices, clinics, and care homes across Yorkshire
Get a Free ConsultationI'm not a faceless consultancy. I'm a healthcare professional who built secure infrastructure from scratch and understand your world.
I've worked in complex care and mental health settings. I understand clinical workflows, patient confidentiality, CQC requirements, and the real-world pressures healthcare teams face every day.
Every system I build prioritizes UK data protection and regulatory compliance from day one. I don't bolt on security as an afterthought — it's the foundation of everything I design.
You're not paying for sales teams, account managers, or corporate profit margins. Just direct, honest technical work at prices small practices can actually afford without cutting corners on security.
My straightforward process from initial contact to ongoing support
We discuss your current setup, pain points, GDPR concerns, and budget. I'll ask about your clinical workflows and identify where security or compliance gaps exist. No obligation, no sales pitch — just honest technical assessment.
Within one week, you'll receive a detailed assessment of your infrastructure needs, GDPR compliance requirements, and a transparent proposal with fixed pricing. You'll know exactly what you're getting, why it matters, and what it costs.
I'll deploy your infrastructure with minimal disruption to your practice operations. Timeline depends on project complexity and scheduling. I work around your availability and ensure smooth handover with complete system documentation.
Quarterly on-site reviews, automated 24/7 system monitoring with alerts, backup verification, security updates, and responsive technical support during business hours (Mon-Fri 9am-5pm, emergency escalation available). Detailed documentation provided for all systems.
Most small healthcare providers are overpaying for cloud services while losing control of their data
Your patient data stays on YOUR servers, in YOUR location, under YOUR control. No third-party access, no foreign jurisdictions, no ambiguity.
Typical cloud storage costs £200-500/month indefinitely. Self-hosted systems: from £100/month after initial setup, with costs decreasing over time as you scale.
No data processors, no cross-border transfers, no hidden subcontractors. You're the data controller AND processor. Audits become straightforward.
You own the infrastructure. Configure systems exactly how your practice works. No vendor lock-in, no forced upgrades, no features you don't need and can't remove.
No cloud latency or internet dependency. Local infrastructure means instant access to files, faster backups, and no disruption when your connection drops.
No forced subscription price increases, no surprise feature removals, no service shutdowns. Your infrastructure runs on your timeline, not a vendor's roadmap.
Here's the secure, GDPR-compliant system I've deployed and maintain daily
Automated nightly backups via Restic to Cloudflare R2 with encryption and verification

Simple changes that dramatically improve your security posture — most practices aren't doing these
A shared "admin" password across staff is a GDPR compliance failure and security disaster. Implementing individual password management with multi-factor authentication eliminates a major audit risk and improves accountability.
Having backups means nothing if you've never restored from them. Regular test restores of critical data are essential. Most practices discover their backups don't work when it's too late. Automated verification catches this before disaster strikes.
Remote Desktop directly accessible from the internet is asking to be breached. Deploy a VPN for remote access instead. Proper implementation prevents the vast majority of opportunistic attacks targeting healthcare providers.
Here's how I would approach securing a typical 3-GP practice with 5 staff members
Practice currently using shared Dropbox account for patient notes, staff sharing one admin password, no remote access solution, paying £280/month for cloud storage, and concerned about GDPR compliance after recent CQC inspection feedback.
One-time setup (complexity dependent) + from £120/month ongoing support and hosting
Compare to enterprise IT firms: £5,000+ setup and £500+/month retainers
