With over 750 health and care videos in their collection, they are seeing some great results from clinical teams across the UK, achieving over 9000 views per month, an increase of 73% on last year.
To make it even easier for medical professionals to share the views, Health and Care Videos have built ready to use video libraries and health information portals (HIPs).
‘Our team now direct patients to exercise videos as an aid to their treatment plan. This saves time and has meant that our patients are seen in 30 minutes rather than 40 minutes’ Head of Podiatry and Orthotics Services
‘Using video allows us to deliver a consistent messaging to a wider audience, whilst saving time and money for our organisation’ Speech and Language Therapist
‘We are saving 2.5 hours per week by not seeing pre-diabetes patients for lifestyle consultations‘ Practice Nurse
‘These videos have markedly improved the consent process and allowed us to cancel the pre-admission appointment with our arrhythmia nurses.’ Consultant Cardiologist
Health and Care Videos have produced a wide range of ready to use video libraries including Primary Care, Secondary Care, Pharmacy, Frailty and Care Workers, each containing over 250 videos.

To make these libraries quick and easy to access and share with patients and carers, newly developed customisable Health Information Portals (HIPs) have been made available for GPs, Trusts, CCGs and Care Providers to use. HIPs come pre-loaded with a library of choice and can be connected to an existing website e.g. videos.nameofpractice.co.uk and personalised.
This helps to respond to local needs and direct patients/carers to external resources, creating a central hub for all health information that assists with treatment pathways and encourages self-care.
How are the videos, libraries and health information portals are being used?
Primary Care: A CCG that saw the value in localised content is using the Primary Care Library for their 35 GP Practices. One practice is sending text messages to patients with video links and is achieving a 20% view rate. The Primary Care Library survey is showing an average of 3 out of 4 respondents saying that they did not need to book an appointment with their GP having watched a video.
Secondary Care: Over 250 patient information videos are located on an NHS Trust website with content being shared using apps, tablets and email. The same Trust is also enabling 400 care homes to have free access to a suite of 450 learning support videos alongside a completely video based Care Certificate training programme.
Social Care: A comprehensive induction and training programme using our Knowledge Hub training videos for an innovative and national care provider who has set up a new online platform that connects social care workers with service users and is set to change the British social care system.
Voluntary Carers: A collaboration with a Local Authority and an NHS Trust to provide a central library of health information videos and learning resources to the 7000 unpaid carers in their region as well as encourage career progression into health and care.
Health and Care Videos have seen that through better informed patients accessing engaging and easy to understand health information, using video really does have an impact on reducing demand and increasing capacity.
