Vodafone’s connectivity solutions are enabling clinicians to spend more time with their patients

It is important for Bridgewater Community Healthcare NHS Foundation Trust clinicians to be able to work anywhere. Vodafone’s solution of 4G enabled laptops provided clinicians with a seamless connectivity solution, enabling them to spend more quality time with their patients.

When I have the laptop with me it allows more quality time (with my patients) because if there are certain areas we need to go in in more depth, they are there at my fingertips. And because I don’t have to go back to the office, I can spend more quality time with my patients." Caroline Smalley, Health Visitor

Bridgewater Community NHS Trust is a leading provider of community health services in the north west of England. They asked Vodafone to help them with connectivity for their clinicians to enable them to work securely on the go. In order to provide them with the correct devices, we ran a workshop to assess their needs. From this, 1,600 4G enabled devices were rolled out to their clinicians to enable them to have full access to patients records wherever they are.
