I am not completely sure but I believe Addenbrookes were considering
using a video camera for teaching/feedback in resus...to be erased after
the feedback done.

We need to be specific in order to debate this logically
1. Security Cameras
2. Video surveillance (to audit resus)[does anyone still do this- there
was
a vogue about 10 years ago to introduce this into resus and I know that
Frenchay A/E piloted this]
3. Still images/ video images of incident scenes (our paramedics
regularily
bring these in, digital video gives a very good impression of crash
dynamics)
4. Still images to go into the patient record (eg wounds prior to
dressing
and referral).
5. Still images/CCTV for treatment; Arthroscopy/TURP etc.
6. Still images/video for teaching.
7. Still images/video for corporate use (glossy brochures etc)
8. Telemedicine cameras
9. Media filming and photography.
Each have potential advantages and disadvantages. To ban cameras in a
hospital outright without thought would disrupt normal work, security of
staff and patients and disadvantage patient care. It sounds like a ill
thought through knee jerk idea from a manager ignorant of the wide and
varied role of the camera in the modern health service.

I send 'polaroid' photos of the scene and wreckage with patients if I
think
they will aid the A&E dept's understanding of the MOI.
I think Iain J. has some fancy laptop/digital camera set up for his
BASICS
work.
