Series of training videos for patients of the Royal National Orthopaedic Hospital, during the pandemic. Edited by Dreaming Fish Productions.
Support during the pandemic
DreamingFish were approached by an NHS Trust, the Royal National Orthopaedic Hospital to create a series of training videos that could be used to deliver therapy services remotely. During the Covid-19 pandemic, patients who had suffered injuries or were post-op were unable to attend appointments at the hospital to undergo therapy sessions. As a result, a new way of delivering these services was required to support both staff and patients. This was a project that the Trust had been considering for some time, but Covid meant that the plan had to be enacted much quicker than expected.
During lockdown, we were unable to film at the hospital so we worked with the team to identify filming equipment that meant that staff could film themselves. We supported them through the process of lighting, filming and recording voiceover. The footage was then sent to us for editing and additional graphics.
We created a suite of 16 training videos that were deployed via our hosting platform, Wistia. This allowed us and the team to see how successful the training videos were, in delivering the services. By 31st March, nearly 300 patients had accessed and watched the training videos. Each individual video cost approximately £90, meaning that the financial cost per client was just £8. However the benefit far outweighed the small cost. Patients could access the videos anytime, from anywhere, without needing to travel to the hospital; maximising the return on investment.
Audience impact
Staff have fed back that the videos are enhancing their ability to manage patients care. For example, the content of the Managing Non-traumatic shoulder dislocations is unique and not available anywhere else. This means patients can access resources that are invaluable in managing their condition without using urgent care/A& E Resources as well as repeat referrals. Patient feedback has also been positive. All respondents said the training videos helped them manage their condition and improved their understanding of the advice and exercises they had been taught. 100% of patients who responded to the survey agreed that the videos helped understand the exercises better and would help them to better manage their condition.
“Loved the music and calming voice. Think these exercises will be very helpful. Thank you for the opportunity.”
As we move forwards out of the pandemic, theses videos will continue to be a valuable resource for patients and a useful tool for staff. DreamingFish will continue to host the videos for the Trust and will continue to monitor the return on investment. The whole project has been a great success. A true win win for both the Trust and the patients.
