Bristol

Martin Van Eker describes the challenge of delivering learning from autopsies to medical students based in central Bristol when the Local Authority mortuary is 6 miles away in Flax Bourton. Building on the technology available at the mortuary site, a secure video and audio solution was developed. At the Forum this was demonstrated with John the mortuary technician dissecting some fruit in lieu of human organs, a great relief to the audience.

Martin presented on the Weston General Hospital pilot at the November 2013 NHS-HE Forum. This time he was able to say how successful the pilot has been (no issues reported) and that it was now to become a standard supported service. Looking to use this model in 2 other Trusts.

This case study describes a pilot implementation of eduroam at Weston General Hospital. This is the first example of the eduroam footprint being extended to an NHS Trust without using a direct Trust to University network connection. Instead the authentication messages are initially channelled via the N3 Janet Gateway to the University of Bristol radius server which then handles further authentications on behalf of the NHS Trust. The NHS Trust provides the internet connectivity for the authenticated eduroam users.
