Clinical media, sorted.
Find out how NHS Trusts are using the Galerie app for secure, simple and connected clinical photo sharing.
Clinical photography is a vital part of modern patient care. But for many NHS Trusts, it can still be a disconnected process.
Clinical photos need to be taken and accessed 24/7, but often department services are limited to regular office hours. Trusts must also ensure they have full ownership, proper consent and compliance regulations for all patient media.
Add in a connection to the NHS Spine, and there’s a long list of requirements for one app to solve!
Why do NHS Trusts need a solution?
Clinical photography underpins care decisions across multiple departments. But disconnected systems and solutions can often mean images are trapped on devices or inboxes, with unclear ownership and consent and limited access outside office hours.
The impact? Care decisions may be slower and risks may be introduced.
Introducing the Galerie application
The Galerie application, created in partnership with Lewisham & Greenwich NHS Trust, is the first solution to solve this clinical media sharing challenge.
The goal? Replace disconnected photo capture and sharing with a secure, scalable application.
The application has helped speed up patient care coordination (especially during field visit appointments), and ensures that clinicians have accurate, up-to-date information to provide the best standard of care for their patients.
Galerie is a revolutionary application and a genuine first for the NHS. It looks and feels like an NHS app, so it should be an easy transition for users.
How does Galerie help NHS Trusts?
Powered by Microsoft technology, the Galerie application is designed to make clinical photography safer, simpler and more joined-up across NHS teams.
