By October, all NHS medical practices and surgeries will be required to complete a system upgrade to Windows 11. While this shift is part of a broader strategy to improve cybersecurity, performance, and compatibility with modern applications, the timeline is placing pressure on healthcare providers to evaluate their current systems.

For many clinics, the transition is more complex than a simple operating system upgrade. A significant concern emerging across the sector is device compatibility, particularly among diagnostic tools such as ECG machines. Many ECG devices currently in use were designed for earlier versions of Windows and may not function reliably, or at all, on Windows 11. This raises critical concerns about potential disruptions to clinical workflows and, most importantly, patient diagnostics and care.

Seamless Compatibility with seca Devices To support practices during this critical upgrade, seca has ensured that all of its devices and software are fully compatible with Windows 11. From ECG machines to vital signs monitors and weighing systems, seca’s product line is engineered with forward compatibility and security in mind. This commitment means NHS organisations using seca technology can upgrade with confidence, knowing their diagnostic tools will continue to perform reliably without interruption.

Don’t Wait Until the Last Minute With October fast approaching, now is the time for NHS practices to review their systems and ensure their technology partners are ready for the change. Seca is standing by to provide the tools, expertise, and assurance needed to make the transition to Windows 11 as seamless as possible.
