The NHS has for many years built, managed and used its own facilities management (FM) software and the most recent version of this, Eclipse-fm, has been recently updated with new modules. Built with more than 25 years of NHS experience, Eclipse-fm has been designed specifically for the Health Service with input from NHS Trust staff from throughout the UK. Users report that the software, provided by the Healthcare Facilities Consortium (HFC), a not for profit company and IHEEM Corporate Affiliate, is exceptionally flexible and designed to adapt to the varying needs of estates and facilities professionals across the breadth of the NHS.
Eclipse-fm uses the industry standard Microsoft SQL Server database which is available to the NHS within the MS/PASA agreements. The HFC provides a range of related services including installation, training and data hosting for Eclipse-fm. New and improved modules and features are constantly in development.
