NHS Education for Scotland: Keeping business going in difficult circumstances
Challenge
With many remote staff, the health board was seeking ways to reduce business travel for both cost and sustainability reasons
Solution
The organisation decided on a full-scale rollout of BT MeetMe audio conferencing, with BT-hosted Cisco WebEx on an opt-in basis
Value
As well as making a big contribution in terms of cost and time savings, people are now more readily available
Challenge
Employing around 700 people across 13 sites, NHS Education for Scotland is a national health board, responsible for supporting NHS services delivered to the people of Scotland by developing and delivering education and training for those who work in NHS Scotland. Designing new educational programmes and training courses is a collaborative exercise involving widely dispersed NHS Education for Scotland people.
Stephen Browne, Head of Information Management and Technology at NHS Education for Scotland, says: “With many of our staff remote from each other, travel had become a way of life. However, all NHS organisations are constantly looking for ways to increase productivity. So, going forward, we need to limit business travel for both cost and sustainability reasons.”
