Case Study: NHS Scotland lays the digital foundations for national lung cancer screening with Waracle

NHS Scotland lays digital foundations in 8 weeks with Waracle

NHS Scotland faced the challenge of designing a digital foundation for its first national Targeted Lung Cancer Screening programme. With no clinical baseline established, they needed a partner to translate evolving protocols and technical constraints into a clear plan for a safe and effective platform. They engaged Waracle as a strategic design partner for this discovery phase.

Over an eight-week discovery, Waracle mapped the end-to-end screening pathway into service blueprints and built a detailed catalogue of requirements. They developed prioritisation models and designed a high-level technology architecture validated by the NHS’s Technical Design Authority. Waracle provided NHS Scotland with a stakeholder-validated foundation, reducing ambiguity and enabling confident progression into procurement and implementation for a national rollout.
