Throughout the event, our stand was a hub of activity. Attendees experienced our mobile X-ray units firsthand, exploring their exceptional flexibility and image quality. These systems sparked a great deal of interest from those looking to enhance their diagnostic capabilities across a variety of clinical environments.

There was also strong engagement with our radiation protection solutions. Many visitors took a close look at our shielding products, which offer effective protection for both patients and clinical teams without compromising on workflow or comfort. In addition to our equipment, we had valuable discussions around our comprehensive radiation protection screening service, designed to help departments review their current shielding setups, ensure regulatory compliance, and identify areas for improvement. This service generated significant interest from teams keen to take a proactive approach to staff and patient safety.

Our full cart solution also drew attention, with professionals appreciating its ability to streamline departmental efficiency through smart, mobile design.

One of the most talked-about features at our stand was the NRT fluoroscopy simulator. This interactive experience challenged visitors to test their skills under simulated pressure, creating a fun, competitive atmosphere while highlighting the value of precision in fluoroscopy procedures.

Beyond the product demonstrations, we had the privilege of holding in-depth meetings with many attendees. These sessions allowed us to discuss specific clinical challenges and explore how our solutions can be tailored to meet individual departmental needs. The quality of these discussions highlighted the importance of collaboration in delivering real value to healthcare providers.

UKIO 2025 has reinforced our commitment to supporting the healthcare community with advanced technology and expert guidance. We’re excited about the new relationships we’ve formed and the ongoing conversations that are continuing beyond the event.

If you didn’t get the chance to connect with us at UKIO or would like to continue the discussion, our team is always available to provide demonstrations, answer questions, and help you find the right solutions for your service.

Thank you to everyone who made UKIO 2025 such a memorable experience. We look forward to continuing the conversation—and to seeing you at future events.

HSL has transformed from a small, family business into one of the largest privately-owned healthcare product distributors, with its team providing important on-going technical and clinical support to hospitals on both sides of the Irish Sea. We wish its dedicated and entrepreneurial team every success under the new ownership and are confident it will continue to thrive.”

On their long-standing and fruitful relationship with Foresight Group Dominic Walsh said, “Over the last decade, Foresight Group has been instrumental in helping Hospital Services to grow quickly in the right way.

Implemented as a direct response to remote working required during the Covid-19 pandemic, the system has been successfully embraced by the Hip MDT, Knee MDT and Upper Limb MDT, accommodating meetings of approximately 6-15 team members as well as seminars of up to 50 people and recently a large meeting with regional hospitals which accommodated 104 participants. This flexibility in format and size makes the solution an optimal platform for not only MDT meetings but also trainings and general meetings for Hampshire Hospitals, facilitating remote working as social distancing and work from home remain important tools for combatting the ongoing pandemic.

The Pexip Infinity-powered system which integrates with Microsoft Teams and Cisco equipment offers a highly simplified and easy-to-use system for busy healthcare professionals based across numerous sites and allows attendees to join a meeting through Microsoft Teams or from a boardroom or meeting scenario using a Cisco system. Users can view all clinical data shared within a meeting room, working alongside the Electronic Patient Record (EPR) to include all information in one ecosystem. A three-screen setup also enables participants to take control of the screen and ‘drive’ the display, offering equal and secure access to the EPR, imaging, and test results for all participants within the meeting regardless of their location and making this an ideal platform to host virtual orthopaedic seminars.

Highlighting how increased collaboration through the virtual system is helping to improve the level of patient care at Hampshire Hospitals, a recent case was presented at Bath Hospital involving a young man who had been previously advised that he needed a new knee. Working in consultation with the MDT, the orthopaedic team at Bath took advantage of the vast pool of knowledge available from consultants in Basingstoke, the Regional Centre of Excellence for Osteotomy which runs masterclasses which are beneficial for improving knowledge within the region to benefit patients, resulting in a definitive answer for the patient.

Reflecting on the success of this collaborative project between HSL and Hampshire Hospitals Joanne Rix, Telehealth & Communications for HSL said, “The brief for this project was to provide a video conferencing system for MDT meetings with 3 screens, a good quality camera, and audio pick up to allow for collaboration across the region. HSL’s team worked closely with the consultation and IT teams at Hampshire Hospitals to explore the best solution to meet all the needs and future proof the communication function within the Trust. We are delighted by the outcome – an easy to use and adaptable telehealth solution devised to encourage collaboration, sustainability, and help improve the quality of patient care through additional expert input on cases.”

Commenting on the collaboration with HSL to deliver this innovative video conferencing solution David Howard, Lead Orthopaedic Surgical Practitioner and Orthopaedic MDT Lead at Hampshire Hospitals said, “From the second I got involved in the project, access to HSL’s team was simple and no request was ever a problem. HSL’s in-depth knowledge of our work and understanding of our needs as well as their calmness when reacting to challenges and fielding technical queries made them ideal partners for implementing the solution.”
