Our change controls:
establish the purpose, category and nature changes
determine the potential consequences of changes
assess resource requirements for the changes
We use configuration management to establish and maintain consistency in our software’s performance. This includes configuration management for:
Project/work management
Source control
Build/release pipelines

Fighting climate change
At Lenus Health, our commitment to fighting climate change is central to our mission, and our innovative healthcare solutions are at the forefront of this. Recognised as a top UK innovator in supporting a greener NHS, our inclusion in the Net Zero 50 list underscores our dedication to delivering solutions that not only advance healthcare but also protect our planet.
Our approach is multi-faceted, aiming to reduce greenhouse gas emissions across all aspects of healthcare delivery. By harnessing the power of digital health technologies, we are revolutionising patient care, making it more efficient, and significantly lowering the carbon footprint associated with traditional healthcare practices. Our solutions enable remote monitoring and virtual consultations, reducing the need for physical travel and thus decreasing CO2 emissions. This not only contributes to a reduction in pollution but also enhances patient accessibility to quality healthcare services.
Our initiatives extend beyond digital innovation. We are actively working towards achieving net zero greenhouse gas emissions within our operations. This involves optimising energy use in our facilities, investing in renewable energy sources, and advocating for sustainable practices throughout our supply chain. This commitment is detailed in our Carbon Reduction Plan, published on our website, which adheres to the GHG Protocol.
By integrating environmental considerations into our work, we are not just addressing the symptoms of climate change but are also contributing to a healthier, more sustainable world.
Lenus Health remains committed to achieving Net Zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2045, in line with Scottish Government policy, contributing to UK Government policy of Net Zero emissions by 2050.Covid-19 recovery
Lenus Health operated throughout the pandemic, including through provision of essential services to the NHS (software for the NHS Scotland National Notifications and Contact Tracing Service, and a long COVID study), as well as for other key public sector organisations.
In the wake of COVID-19, Lenus Health recognises the impact the pandemic had on individuals and communities, and having emerged as a resilient business, is committed to creating employment opportunities to assist those looking to retrain.
Aligned with our focus on wellbeing, Lenus Health is supportive in enabling workers to work from wherever they would like to work; from home, from the office, or from elsewhere, subject to project constraints that may be in place e.g., security considerations etc. and their levels of comfort in being in and around other people, should they be shielding, either for themselves, or because they live with or care for family members who are vulnerable.
Our innovative digital health solutions are specifically designed to support patients and clinicians, and in a post-pandemic setting, this is especially vital for those who have been severely affected by the pandemic, including individuals who were shielding and patients with chronic respiratory conditions such as COPD. By facilitating better self-management of these conditions, our technology directly contributes to reducing the strain on the NHS, which is still recovering from the unprecedented demands placed upon it during the pandemic.
As Lenus Health continues to expand, we're committed to creating sustainable employment opportunities. We actively recruit from across Scotland and the rest of the UK, and because we have embraced full remote and hybrid working, this has assisted us in recruiting the best possible talent while also positively improving work life balance.Tackling economic inequality
At Lenus Health, our commitment to tackling economic inequality is woven into the fabric of our business model and operations. Recognising the role that healthcare innovation can play in addressing this challenge, we support skills development and the creation of new jobs through our activities, especially for those facing barriers to employment.
All workers benefit from contracts with competitive remuneration, together with a package of benefits which are designed to both attract and retain talent. Our annual salary review policy means that all workers can expect their salary to be increased automatically, in line with increases in cost of living, without having to request it.
Our initiatives are tailored to stimulate economic growth and business creation by encouraging the development of new, scalable solutions within the healthcare sector. By focusing on innovation and the adoption of disruptive technologies, we aim to deliver higher quality and more cost-effective healthcare solutions, modernising delivery and enhancing productivity. Where our solutions tackle waiting times in the NHS, we see people returned to work earlier, thereby contributing to the economy.
Lenus Health creates employment and training opportunities and supports workforce training that address skills gaps, resulting in recognised qualifications and a better-prepared workforce, fit for the future. Costs are covered for continuous professional development activities, access to online learning resources and attendance at events.
Opportunities for development are discussed regularly, including during monthly one-to-one check-in meetings between workers and line managers.
The intranet carries detailed role descriptions for all jobs currently filled, new jobs being created and therefore requiring to be filled in the future. This open sharing of job descriptions assists workers in identifying pathways for career progression.Equal opportunity
At Lenus Health, our dedication to fostering equal opportunities is a cornerstone of our corporate social responsibility (CSR) policy, and it is deeply embedded in every aspect of our operations. Our commitment extends beyond compliance; we actively seek to tackle workforce and sector inequality head-on through a series of targeted activities and initiatives. We are an accredited Real Living Wage employer and follow the Fair Work First principles.
Recognising the unique talents and perspectives that a diverse workforce can contribute to business success we take care during recruitment to eliminate bias from the process. We support on-the-job training, aimed at developing new skills relevant to our operations, especially in areas of technological uncertainty. These opportunities are promoted, sometimes resulting in recognised accreditations or qualifications, thereby enhancing employability and opening doors to new opportunities for our people both within and beyond Lenus Health. Our efforts are aligned with our CSR and other policies, which emphasise inclusivity and equal opportunities for all.
Our approach to understanding tackling workforce inequality and inequity is holistic. We identify and seek to address disparities in employment, skills, and pay in our workforce. By supporting in-work progression, we aim to empower individuals, including from disadvantaged or minority groups, facilitating their transition into higher-paid roles through skill development relevant to their career aspirations.
Lenus Health is also deeply committed to ethical practices across our operations, including the management of modern slavery risks within our supply chain. We undertake due diligence to ensure our partners and suppliers share our values and commitment to fair and ethical work practices.
By influencing our workforce, suppliers, customers, and the wider community through the delivery of our contracts, we aim to advocate for and support minorities and address inequalities within the workforce.Wellbeing
At Lenus Health, our commitment to enhancing health and wellbeing extends beyond the innovative healthcare solutions we provide. It permeates every aspect of our operations, influencing our approach to workforce management, supplier relations, and community engagement. Recognising the connection between wellbeing and productivity, we implement activities designed to support both the physical and mental health of our workforce.
We take steps to ensure our team members have access to resources and support systems that promote their overall wellbeing. This includes initiatives aimed at creating a healthy work environment, offering mental health support services, and facilitating a culture that values work-life balance. Our actions demonstrate our firm belief that a healthy workforce is the backbone of a successful and resilient company.
We measure several dimensions of employee satisfaction through weekly and quarterly pulse surveys which help to highlight specific areas that require attention, and which are followed up by our People Team.
Staff receive a benefits package including pension contributions and private health cover. Lenus Health wants its workers to do their best work, feel proud about their work and know that they have the support to enable them to feel professionally fulfilled. As such, fulfilment is a component of job design which contributes to health and wellbeing, a dimension when interviewing candidates and a point-of-discussion between workers and line managers during monthly one-to-one check-in meetings and annual progress reviews.
Exit interviews for employees who leave also provide an opportunity for us to identify what we’re doing well and where further improvements can be made to ensure that support for health and wellbeing is sustained. Exit interviews regularly highlight the positive support that employees know is in place, or from which they have benefited.
