Salford Royal

Background

Salford Royal is an NHS hospital whose Emergency Department faced persistent challenges with accessing clinical guidelines, Trust policies, and essential contact numbers. Clinicians were spending considerable time searching for resources across disparate systems, detracting from direct patient care.

Implementation

The Eolas Medical platform was fully set up, populated with local information, and made available to the entire team within a single day. The rapid deployment meant that benefits were realised immediately, with clinicians able to access all departmental resources from one centralised platform from day one.

Impact on Efficiency

The Emergency Department reports that clinicians are spending significantly less time searching for resources since adopting Eolas Medical. On average, staff save approximately 8 minutes per information search compared to the previous approach of navigating Trust IT systems. In a busy emergency department where every minute matters, this time saving translates directly into more time available for patient care.

Staff Experience

Staff have reported reduced frustration with IT-related delays. The ability to access guidelines, policies, and contact information from a single platform at the bedside has streamlined daily workflows and removed a common source of friction in clinical practice.

Testimonial

"Eolas app is a superb addition to patient care. It allows clinical staff to rapidly access guidelines and policies at the patient's bedside. The organisation and rapid access to digital information improves the clinician's productivity and effectiveness."
