Safety and Security
NHS and care workers across the UK face a growing tide of abuse, including verbal and physical assaults.
Although they provide critical services on which we all rely, healthcare workers are face-to-face with members of the public who may be scared, frustrated and emotionally charged, which can lead to violence and confrontation.
A recent report from the British Medical Association revealed that this trend is worsening with figures revealing:
We believe there is simply no excuse for violence towards healthcare workers who we rely upon in our times of greatest need, which is why we are proud to supply Body Cameras to the healthcare industry.
Enhancing Worker Safety
The distinctive forward-facing screen on WCCTV's body cameras plays a significant role in de-escalating conflict. When individuals are aware they are being recorded, their behaviour dramatically improves.
Small, discreet and lightweight, WCCTV's body cameras are barely noticeable to the wearer once they are attached. Despite the unit's compact size, it contains market-leading functionality and features.
The device's 1080p video recording capability means you will capture high-quality video evidence, whether for police investigations, identifying individuals for convictions or training employees.
The optional extended battery pack easily clips onto the bottom of the Body Camera, providing an additional 8 hours of run time, making it ideal for applications beyond the usual daily working pattern.
All footage captured on a WCCTV Body Camera is encrypted to AES 256-bit standard, making it completely secure and inaccessible to unauthorised users.
WCCTV’s cloud based Evidence Management Software (EMS) provides simple and secure management of videos taken from a WCCTV Body Worn Camera.
Protecting Frontline Workers
Our complete range of body worn video solutions are proven to reduce the number of verbal and physical assaults on healthcare workers whilst simultaneously capturing evidential quality footage of any incidents.
The presence of a body camera helps boost staff welfare, increases their confidence in dealing with situations, and creates a positive environment where both the professionals and public feel safe.

Long-term Benefits
Body Cameras ensure that front-line Healthcare Professionals feel safer when working as the camera is a deterrent to situations with the public that may become abusive or threatening. Purchasing body cameras is a one-time investment in the security and safety of your staff, eliminating rental fees and leading to cost-savings over time.
Owning Body Cameras demonstrates long-term commitment, which will make staff feel safer at work. This can lead to numerous advantages such as increased staff safety and improved patient care.
With all staff using the same device type, it reduces the need for regular training and ensures seamless operation and familiarity with using the unit itself, the Evidence Management Software and evidence gathering procedures. By not having to rely on rental agreements, you can be rest assured of continuous operation and protection with minimal down-time disruptions.
Body Cameras ensure that healthcare professionals and medical staff feel safer when working, as the cameras act as a deterrent to any situations with the public that may become abusive or threatening.
The Body Worn Cameras have dramatically improved how the Hospital captures video evidence. Now, every incident attended is recorded in crystal clear 1080p quality - with accompanying audio evidence.
This has greatly assisted with Police investigations and prosecutions, as incidents are no longer missed due to insufficient camera coverage.
