Many sites are in rural areas, I ensure that there is sufficient UPS protection for critical equipment in case of mains power failure, and the availability of "red phones" (analogue telephones) that can bypass the PABX in case of any extended power outage or local equipment failure. I also designed, installed and supported the IT systems currently in use at Barham and Baylham Care Centres, which were sold to Optima Care in 2019. Show less
