Bury Stroke Team, part of Pennine Care, has been using the software known as OmniJoin with a select number of patients to provide consultations over the internet via a webcam.

OmniJoin, by technology services provider Brother UK, is a secure web conferencing tool which allows video and audio calls to be made online.

Initial feedback from patients has been positive, and the time saved from travelling means four service users can be seen per session instead of three.
