Provide Community, an employee-owned community interest company with headquarters in Essex, UK, specialises in health and social care for over 11 million people across Essex, the East of England, Dorset and the North of England. With over 1,200 employees, it operates in community hospitals, clinics, schools, and homes, focusing on accessible, quality healthcare and community well-being.
The Problem
Provide Community faced challenges in managing the workload of podiatry clinicians and ensuring efficient training methods. The traditional process required senior clinicians to physically accompany junior staff for patient visits, leading to inefficiencies and stretched resources.
“The simplicity, durability and ruggedness meant that RealWear's devices stood out from a clinical perspective. It's important to note that this technology is not about replacing people or the human touch that’s so central to compassionate care; it's about facilitating on-the-job learning through a communication system, creating an experience that closely resembles having an experienced professional in the room.”
Kez Spelman - Director of Innovation and Community Resilience, Provide Community
