In September 2020 Mid and South Essex NHS Foundation Trust began a selection process to choose a Renal Information System for Mid Essex, Basildon & Thurrock University and Southend Hospitals. These three hospitals were merged on 1 April 2020 to create the new MSE Foundation Trust which serves more than 1.2 million people and is one of the largest NHS Trusts in the country.

MSE provides acute renal inpatient care at Basildon and outpatient and dialysis services at all three hospital sites. There are more than 500 haemodialysis patients treated in four dialysis centres and 300 transplant patients under long-term follow-up.

Airslie Ltd received this review of the Renalware 2.0 system after three months of use at Barts and the Royal London hospital network, written by Dr Stan Fan, who was one of the leaders of the data migration and staff training during the launch. (Dr Fan was also instrumental in installing the previous, Filemaker™-based version of Renalware at Barts in 2000.)

During the weekend of 21-22 September 2019 Renalware 2.0 went live at Barts and The Royal London following around six months of active planning and preparation. Barts had been using the very first version of Renalware which ran on the commercial Filemaker™ database software and had first been installed around 2000. In contrast with the prior launch of Renalware 2.0 at King’s College hospital in March 2018 (from the MySQL/PHP version of Renalware), this was a more complex undertaking.
