University Hospitals Sussex NHS Foundation Trust is a large hospital trust that deployed Eolas Medical across the entire organisation. The platform replaced a previous guideline management system, with the goal of providing faster, more intuitive access to clinical guidelines and protocols for all staff.
The onboarding process was described as straightforward and simple. Within six months, the trust began to see clear benefits — particularly when updating existing guidelines or adding new ones. The ability to set expiry dates on guidelines and link between pages has been especially valuable for maintaining an up-to-date, interconnected knowledge base.
Staff have benefited from faster search functionality compared to the previous system. The improved speed of finding relevant guidelines has been a notable advantage, allowing clinicians to spend less time searching and more time focused on patient care.
The trust highlighted the quality of support received from the Eolas team, describing them as very helpful and quick to respond to queries or issues. This responsiveness has helped ensure smooth ongoing use of the platform across the organisation.
After an initial adjustment period, staff settled into the new platform with minimal complaints. The consensus has been that the functionality represents a significant step forward from the previous system.
"The functionality of Eolas is much better than its predecessor. It's faster to use and much easier to search. The ability to see what pages and search terms are used is helpful. The Eolas team are very helpful and quick to respond to queries or issues."
The trust has identified the integration of clinical calculators, such as a gentamicin nomogram calculator, as a key area for future development that would further enhance the platform's utility at the point of care.
