Hi Matt,

I have to say I completely agree with you. I have an uncle in rehabilitation after brain surgery and he has a similar system available. The rates are exorbitant and he uses it as rarely as possible (but he has little else to do!)

Purely on the phone side of things, not only would the call rates be far less but you could assign a geographical number to the bedside phone if it were VoIP (well you could with the DEVIL7 ones anyway). This would be great for patients such as my Uncle who aside from a workaholic would like to be contactED, not just be able to contact others.

Home numbers, work DDIs, at the patients bedside? Sounds like a good plan to me.

Question is, how does one convince the NHS of this? They are very set in their ways and Comms decision makers within the NHS are far to 'know it all' to be open to such useful suggestions.

I guess we'll just have to hope that someone in the NHS notices the technology which is staring them in the face!
