Scope of works: Project management, training and development

The Priory Surgery, an NHS general practice situated in the heart of High Wycombe, is the location of a digital signage installation I have recently project managed.  This installation of the patient infoPoint system from Surgery Media Systems Ltd was installed in March 2010 and comprises of a 40″ LCD screen and two smaller 32″ LCD screens installed throughout a large c1900s three story converted Victorian house.

I sourced and tested all hardware essential for the installation, including screens, media player, wall mounted brackets and screen output splitting and extending equipment.

Working in conjunction with the practice, I prepared and tailored the screen content ensuring all content was suitable for a NHS general practice.

I decided to install one media player for this installation  based on the following reasons;  reduced licence fee, hardware and installation costs, on-going maintenance and daily monitoring.

DVI over CAT5 network cabling was used to extend and split the single digital graphics output from the media player to 3 separate LCD screens installed throughout the practice.

I was present on the day of installation to make sure the client was completely happy and to help with the installation where appropriate.

I carried out a comprehensive training session on the patient infoPoint system.  Training was given to the general practice staff members, including the practice manager and principle doctor.
