NHSX videos

NHSX has provided access to a national video library of over 600 patient information videos as part of the COVID-19 response, in collaboration with healthcare video provider, Health and Care Innovations.

The videos have been developed with NHS clinicians to work within care pathways to help patients; to help support a reduction in length of appointments, and to enable patients to better understand their condition and how to manage their care at home.
