Sandmere Practice chosen by Dell as one of the UK's top ten Innovative small businesses for 2008

What does the NHS choice website and the Sandmere Practice have in common. They both use the same technology to deliver added value to patients. In 2004 the Sandmere Practice implemented a range of new technologies that helped it revolutionise the way it delivered its service to patients. From remote home based monitoring to a shared care record the use of innovative technologies were endless. Even more remarkable is that these technologies were all developed by the Practice team and close colleagues. Please see the Dell website below. http://www.dell.co.uk/ceaward

Remote Home Based Monitoring

As part of an extensive research project (City University) funded by the European Union and ethical approval by St Thomas' Ethical committe in 2003 the practice has done much work in this field. Dr Harrar who has a distinction in Health Informatics MSc from City University has ensured the practice remains at the forefront of telemedicine and continues to develop it further. More recently the practice was involved with the NHS modernisation initiative in providing stroke patients with a remote home based monitoring device to monitor their well being. Further information can be found more generally on the following website. http://www.docobo.co.uk/
