Worcestershire Acute Hospitals:
Transforming Radiology with Medical-Grade VDI
Creative ITC’s VDIPod platform gave radiologists secure remote access to clinical imaging and apps, enabling faster diagnoses, round-the-clock collaboration, and improved patient outcomes.
Challenge
The NHS Trust needed a secure remote working solution for radiologists that could handle high-definition imaging and keep vital services running during the pandemic.
Solution
Creative ITC delivered a medical-grade VDIPOD platform with multi-screen home setups, secure access to clinical apps, and 24/7 support.
Results
Radiologists now work anytime, anywhere with no loss of performance, accelerating diagnoses, improving patient care, and reducing IT costs.
Starting Point
With £400m turnover, 6,000 staff, and three hospitals serving 580,000 people, Worcestershire Acute Hospitals NHS Trust needed to modernise how its teams worked. The radiology department delivered over 384,000 scans a year, but outdated IT slowed collaboration, delayed decisions, and limited mobility.
Off-the-shelf virtual desktop tools couldn’t handle large clinical imaging workloads. Affordable options lacked performance, while high-end systems came with impossible price tags.
Then the pandemic hit and the Trust urgently needed a secure, high-performance remote working solution to keep staff safe and critical services running.
Transformation
Creative ITC deployed its purpose-built, medical-grade VDIPOD platform, engineered specifically for graphics-heavy clinical applications. The team scoped requirements, designed the solution, and delivered a full proposal in just three weeks.
Despite global supply chain challenges during lockdown, Creative ITC fast-tracked delivery, ensuring radiologists received identical multi-screen home setups for reviewing and reporting medical images.
The solution provided secure, high-speed access to PACS, clinical applications, and electronic records with no loss of image quality. Around-the-clock support from Creative ITC kept services running smoothly and safeguarded urgent patient diagnoses.
Outcome
The transformation has revolutionised radiology workflows and boosted patient outcomes across the Trust. Radiologists can now diagnose anytime, anywhere, no longer restricted by desks or shift patterns, enabling faster, more responsive care.
Secure collaboration tools have accelerated decision-making and treatment times, while a consistent, high-definition experience ensures imaging and clinical apps perform flawlessly, even remotely.
Beyond performance, the change has improved staff wellbeing through flexible working, enhanced data security via centralised control, and delivered long-term cost efficiencies with a predictable OpEx model and reduced IT overheads.
