WCCTV Case Study: Homerton Hospital - Body Cameras

CASE STUDY HOMERTON HOSPITAL - NHS

INTRODUCTION

CASE STUDY: HOMERTON HOSPITAL NHS

Homerton University Hospital NHS Foundation Trust provides general health services in both a hospital environment and within the community, with staff working out of 75 different location across the City and the London Borough of Hackney. Their primary headquarters is Homerton Hospital.

THE CHALLENGE Staff at the Hospital have experienced high levels of anti-social behaviour and aggression from disruptive individuals, which has created a challenging and potentially unsafe working environment.

Although there is a fixed CCTV infrastructure across the Hospital, the cameras provided insufficient coverage to deliver viable video evidence in support of prosecutions against abusive individuals.

THE SOLUTION WCCTV BODY WORN CAMERAS & CLOUD EMS Following an extensive proof of concept trial, the Trust deployed a number of WCCTV's Body Worn Camera (Connect) devices.

Camera's front facing screen shows the subject they are being recorded to deter incidents from occurring.

Staff feel safer which leads to a reduction in stress and sickness due to incidents.

Cameras act as an evidence gathering tool which can then be used to assist in cases which go to court.

• The front-facing screens on the Body Worn Cameras have also been an incredibly effective deterrent to potential violence in the vast majority of cases, and where not the full video evidence chain has been captured and used in prosecutions.

• The Body Worn Cameras have also protected security personnel from false allegations, and the footage captured on the devices has been instrumental in learning and development sessions on how situations could have potentially been handled differently.
