systemc.comFounded 1983
System C builds software for NHS trusts, local councils and education services across the UK. Founded in 1983, they supply electronic patient records, medicines management, maternity and neonatal systems to healthcare providers, alongside case management tools for children's and adult social care teams. Their Leeds office opened in 2023 at Park Row House in the city centre.

What they do

System C describes itself as the only British software provider focused solely on healthcare, social care and education. That claim is backed by some striking market figures: their BadgerNet Neonatal system is present in 99.9% of UK neonatal units, their children's social care platform is used by 60% of UK councils, and they process over £9bn in medicines annually, including chemotherapy. Ninety percent of Integrated Care System medicines management runs on their software, and 95% of school applications in their market go through their online portals.

On the healthcare side, the flagship product is CareFlow EPR, a cloud-based electronic patient record platform aimed at hospital digital transformation. Alongside it sits CareFlow Medicines Management, which integrates electronic prescribing, pharmacy and medicines administration into a single platform. The BadgerNet suite covers maternity and neonatal care, while CarePlus Child Health handles children's health records including immunisation and screening.

For local government, their children's social care case management system is the UK's market leader. The adult social care product targets social workers, healthcare providers and caregivers with a flexible case management interface. They also supply financial management tools used by 129 councils, an education case management system and a social care commissioning product.

More recently, System C has been adding AI tooling to both sides of the business. FormFlow AI Assistant converts social worker conversations into structured text and forms, with councils reporting up to 40% more assessment capacity without adding headcount. CareFlow Ambient AI Consultations, embedded within the EPR, captures outpatient consultations in real time and automates referral-to-treatment tracking. Buckinghamshire Healthcare NHS Trust signed up to the ambient AI product in April 2026, the first trust to do so.

How they got here

System C was founded in 1983. Their first hospital system went live at Aintree in 1990, the same year they deployed their first electronic prescribing and medicines administration system. Growth since then has been largely acquisition-led.

In 2009 they bought Liquidlogic, bringing children's and adult social care case management into the group. WellSky International's medicines management software was acquired in 2021. In 2023, two further acquisitions followed: Oxford Computer Consultants, which added case management finance, brokerage and bespoke development capability, and Clevermed, which brought the BadgerNet maternity and neonatal products. That same year, System C opened offices in both Liverpool and Leeds. CIS Oncology, a specialist oncology software provider, joined the group in 2024, taking System C to 80% of the UK oncology market. In 2025, MYP Technologies was acquired to support international expansion.

The Leeds office is at Park Row House, 19-20 Park Row, LS1 5JF, in the city centre. The registered office remains in Oxford, and the company also has bases in Belfast, Brentwood, Edinburgh, Leamington Spa, Liverpool and Nottingham. CEO Nick Wilson leads the business; the leadership team collectively claims over 150 years of sector experience.

The R&D team spans developers, infrastructure engineers, solutions architects and technical experts, working across cloud infrastructure and progressive web technology. Bespoke software development is offered to both NHS and local authority customers who need solutions outside the standard product range.
