North Bristol NHS Trusts LifeSize to Deliver Time and Cost Savings

North Bristol NHS Trust, which serves a large and geographically dispersed region encompassing Cornwall, Bristol and South Gloucestershire, and is renowned for its pioneering facilities, has partnered with HD videoconferencing specialist LifeSize.    

Due to the time spent travelling long distances (which could be up to a half a day), the Trust was eager to increase the efficiency of its staff’s work. Whilst it had previously considered video conferencing as a ‘90’s solution’, the Trust was convinced by the low cost and ease of implementing the technology, combined with the fact that specialists from all over the country would be able to use it to participate in meetings. On top of this, the Trust saved nearly 3,000 kg of carbon over a year and almost £9,500 per month in travel costs.

“The money saved on staff time and travel from using LifeSize in a single meeting room is nearly enough to pay for an entire room system,” said Martin Bell, director of assurance.
