Join BJSS and the UK Health Security Agency (UKHSA) as we explore its Cloud Transformation journey.

When the threat of COVID-19 subsided, Public Health England (PHE), alongside several of the organisations created to meet the needs of the pandemic, NHS Test and Trace and the Joint Biosecurity Centre, were amalgamated to form the new UK Health Security Agency.

With this came the challenge of bringing together the technical and infrastructure elements of these previously existing departments and streamlining them into a coherent, multi-cloud operation able to meet the UKHSA's future remit and achieve the scalability, reliability, security, sustainability and cost efficiency required by the UK Government.

As an integral part of creating and hosting the NHS Test and Trace cloud platform used across the UK, BJSS brought this historic knowledge and deep understanding to address the key technology challenges of bringing together multiple historic agencies to form the UKHSA:

- The management of multi-cloud platforms to increase resiliency with a need to standardise security, tooling and identity across all platforms.

- Adopting a cloud-first approach across the department

- Using the cloud as an enabler to streamline internal processes such as implementing Single Sign On for virtual desktops.

- Driving greater maturity and automation of the cloud platforms

- Accelerating the speed of project delivery

- Gaining stakeholder buy-in across the department and broader government for using the cloud on a greater scale.
