The partnership with 02 and Apple is around the provision of equipment in vaccination centres . " Through 02 and our relationship with Apple , we procured a very large number of iPads that have been deployed across Scotland for use in the vaccination clinics ," Flockhart says . " They can be used anywhere from a mass vaccination centre like the Conference Centre in Edinburgh to a community hall in Dumfries and Galloway . All 14 health boards are using these devices in the centres . To be fair , in a very busy patient-facing environment , you want to very much minimise time being taken away from care ( or in this case vaccinations ), which is where the ease and efficiency of systems really come into the fore .”
