Powering a modern NHS, securely
The NHS is rapidly digitising how patients access and experience care – from national platforms like the NHS App to joined-up local care pathways. But this transformation can’t come at the expense of resilience, privacy, or public trust.
As trusts, ICSs, and healthcare providers shift away from legacy, on-premises systems toward digital-first models of care, the challenge is twofold: modernise ageing infrastructure and reduce technical debt – all while protecting sensitive data.
Cloud-native platform for NHS
Cloudflare delivers a cloud-native connectivity and security platform designed for the needs of the NHS. We help protect critical systems, enable faster, safer access to services, and support secure data sharing across trusts and ICSs.
With global experience in healthcare and public sector security, we help NHS organisations move at the speed of digital change – without ever compromising care or compliance.

Mitigate DDoS attacks
Healthcare infrastructure remains a frequent target. Our global network mitigates even the largest DDoS attacks at the edge – keeping services online and care uninterrupted.
Reduce costs and simplify operations
Modernise legacy infrastructure with cloud-based services. We consolidate network and security tools into a single platform – reducing cost, complexity, and operational burden.

Safeguard network infrastructure
Defend on-premises and hybrid deployments against external attacks. We help shield core infrastructure while maintaining uptime and speed.
What our customers are saying
"There must be a major tilt towards technology to unlock productivity. In particular, the hundreds of thousands of NHS staff working outside hospitals urgently need the benefits of digital systems. There is enormous potential in AI to transform care and for life sciences breakthroughs to create new treatments."
