Finalists
Greater Manchester & Cheshire Cardiac & Stroke Network / Broomwell Healthwatch - Wireless telemedicine in primary care
A successful pilot of telemedicine to support the diagnosis of cardiovascular conditions led to wider adoption of this technology across the Greater Manchester and Cheshire Cardiac and Stroke Network. A system supplied by Broomwell Healthwatch enables patients to have a full 12-lead ECG in the community, avoiding the inconvenience of a hospital visit. Prompt reporting gives local GPs rapid access to ECG expertise and enables them to make better-informed diagnoses.
