Case Studies

Shared Services, Independent Sector

Portsmouth Hospitals NHS Trust, like so many other hospitals, shares some of its services across neighbouring hospitals. This case study shows how bbRad supports their satellite orthopaedic service, with both clinics and surgery being performed at a separate but neighbouring hospital, in this case Royal Hospital Haslar.

It also shows how referrals from the independent sector are handled.

Since this case study was written, in 2006, Portsmouth have expanded the service to other NHS Trusts and can now send and receive imaging from any bbRad-enabled hospital in the UK.
