Virtual Consultation - Attend Anywhere
Attend Anywhere provides a single, consistent entry point, where patients enter an online waiting area for their appointment.
The Attend Anywhere Resource Page provides the latest rollout schedule for teams, e-learning and training materials, patient resources, SOPs, support contact details and other useful information.
The use of Zoom as a video conferencing solution for the Trust has not been recommended due to privacy and security issues.
However, after careful consideration and risk assessment, the Trust has procured a small number of commercial licenses for the business (not public) version of Zoom which comes with improved security and greater privacy controls.
Therefore, the use of Zoom is limited to the purposes stated above and any requests must meet this criteria along with a clear business rationale.
Requests for a Zoom business license can be sent to IG
