NHSbuntu wants to make NHS IT less bad. By ensuring that IT systems are easy to update for IT departments and giving front line NHS staff the tools they need to do their job.
If you're an IT Professional, a clinician who codes (or one that doesn't) or you're just interested in the NHS IT space you can help NHSbuntu meet it's goal.
