Mr Schmid said: “In the last six months we’ve run 203 workshops compared to 180 in the whole of 2020 and had 2,555 attendees. We’ve also worked with over 650 GP practices.
“Moving to Strawberry Fields is the next step in our journey as we look to grow turnover from £2m to £5m in three years.
“It’s very accessible to the motorway network and has a lot of collaborative space and a really good learning suite that you can book out.
“The breakout facilities at Strawberry Fields will allow us to undertake more simultaneous online training sessions for NHS teams across different parts of the UK.”Mr Schmid described the latest deal with London Ambulance Service and working with Zoom as ‘game-changing’.
“Zoom approached us to help them deploy their technology across the NHS,” he said.
“They’ve created a fast-growing base in the UK and already work with some really good NHS trusts.
“We’ll be working on lots of projects with frontline NHS teams on getting the best use out of Zoom in different scenarios.
“It’s really exciting for us to be working with Zoom because our history is around digital inclusion at the patient end and this is a great opportunity to get more patients engaged in health through technology.”

Mr Schmid said the contract with London Ambulance Service reflected Redmoor Health’s growing profile.
“12 months ago we didn’t have any foothold in London,” he said. “Now we’re working with GP practices across the South East and London.
“London Ambulance Service are rolling out Microsoft Teams and Office 365 so we’ve providing a programme of training support to all their staff. It’s going to be quite intensive for around 30 weeks.
“For a Lancashire-based company like Redmoor Health it’s great to be able to get our teeth into programmes in London and the South East.
“We’ve grown a lot during the last 12 months and we’ll be announcing details soon of some charities we’ll be raising funds for.”
