Case Study: Brighton NHS achieves faster stroke assessments with Microsoft Corporation's Skype for Business

Brighton NHS treats stroke patients with Skype for Business

Brighton NHS faced a challenge in treating stroke patients quickly, especially when consultants needed to assess patients out of hours or off-site. Its earlier telemedicine setup was unreliable, with freezing screens, poor picture quality, and dropped calls, so the trust worked with Microsoft Corporation and used Skype for Business through Office 365 to improve remote consultations.

Microsoft Corporation implemented Skype for Business as a user-friendly, easy-to-support, and cost-effective telemedicine solution. The result was faster stroke assessments and diagnoses, better patient reassurance, and improved recovery prospects, while also delivering cost savings versus a bespoke commercial system. Brighton NHS is now looking to expand the service to more departments.
