For some organisations, digital transformation remains a buzzword. For Mizaic, it underpins everything we do.
We are revolutionising the clinician : patient experience at the point of care, with our Electronic Document Management System (EDMS) – MediViewer – built for the NHS, by a team that has worked in the NHS.
So, from easy-to-use technology, to the perfect change management programme delivered by people who have been there and done that for Trusts throughout the UK, we’ll support you on your journey to paperless – whatever your digital maturity.
Because we know the healthtech industry is full of jargon. We appreciate that digital transformation projects are feared when hospital teams are already stretched. And we understand entirely – through learned experiences earlier in our careers – the enormity of implementation challenges that can arise.
But we also know that by transforming physical, unstructured and legacy records from multiple systems, into digital, organised, searchable and shareable content, we’ll provide rapid access to relevant patient information at the point of care. The efficiency, cost-saving and environmental benefits are vast. But critically, we’ll also break down silos and enable quick, informed and connected decision-making, for caregiving across entire integrated care systems (ICS).
In a complex and crowded market, we’re already relied upon by more than 100,000 Healthcare professionals healthcare professionals and 20,000,000 patients throughout the country. And our product roadmap shows no sign of slowing – neither does our continued investment in the business, our team, and our customers.
So, for a secure, intuitive, scalable and searchable digital library – and a paperless, connected NHS – contact us. We’re here to help.
The picture is clear with Mizaic.

Tequila Ocho is a combination of the passion, experience, and knowledge between Tomas Estes and Carlos Camarena, resulting in the finest tequila possible.
Carlos Camarena is now a third generation tequila producer. He is one of the few that still make tequila in the slow, artisanal way.
The founder of Café Pacifico, El Nivel and La Perla Bars, Tomas Estes, has been selling and promoting tequila in his Mexican bars and restaurants since 1976, and has gained recognition and respect throughout the worldwide bar and spirits community for his work promoting tequila, agave spirits and Mexican culture around the world.
Tequila Ocho is the only SINGLE ESTATE TEQUILA on the market. Its agaves are harvested from individual single estates at varying altitudes in different micro climates – delivering vintages of tequila that differ in aroma and flavor one from the other, while still retaining Ocho’s distinguishable identity.
The ESSENCE of Tequila Ocho is “TERROIR”. “Terroir” is the French concept, often used in the wine culture that states that grapes take unique and distinctive characteristics from all the natural influences surrounding them. Because it takes the agaves 7-10 years to mature, each vintage will only be seen once a decade making each one rare and collectible.
Tequila Ocho is one of the few remaining tequilas to be made in the “Slow Food” manner as it:
•Is made slowly with pride and care at every step in the process.
•Uses only natural ingredients with no additives of any kind.
•Uses traditional methods like brick ovens for cooking the agaves, wooden vats for fermentation, and a small copper still for its final distillation.
•Celebrates diversity by creating single ranch batches of tequila each with its own character (individuality)
•States the exact location from which the agave comes
