Focus on Auxilium Systems
be of use to the Ambulance Services.
The trust has recently launched a trial
of Auxilium to help to identify and treat
patients at the site of an incident.
Luci Stephens, Director of Operations
– Clinical Coordination Centres, South
Central Ambulance Service NHS
Foundation Trust, said: “We are pleased to
have embarked on this trial of Auxilium
which we hope will prove to be of benefit
to patients and staff alike. There are
occasions when it would be incredibly useful
to have key details about a patient which
they might not be able to provide to us due
to their medical condition and we hope
that this trial will help demonstrate how
important these details are in the event of
an emergency.”
Initial users are from schools and colleges,
but the system is available for free to
all NHS staff and 1 million numbers will
be made available for free to charitable
organisations for the first year. Auxilium
Systems are also currently working with
a range of other stakeholders from the
NHS, private medical service providers
and companies in order to roll out the
system on a nationwide, and eventually,
international scale. As well as SCAS,
Auxilium Systems are seeking to work with
paramedic providers from both the private
and charitable sectors, as well as Account-
Holder-groups from all branches of industry
and walks of life.
How can I buy an Auxilium
Account & Number?
You can buy them via a Purchasing
Organisation, such as a school or
company, or directly from Auxilium
Systems. You will be sent a link by
email to your new account so you
can set a password, enter your data
and select who can view your data as
an Authorised Reader.
How secure is Auxilium Systems?
Security is of paramount importance
and the system provides the same levels of
security used by financial systems. All activity
on your account is recorded and displayed,
with email notifications if your account
is viewed by an Authorised Reader or
Emergency Service.
How do I display my Auxilium
Number?
In many situations the Auxilium Number
will be integrated with items you currently
carry, such as work ID cards, or pupil lists for
school trips. We have a website where you
can download an image with your Auxilium
Number and logo which can used to create
a sticker or key-ring etc. via many providers.
How much does it cost?
For an individual Auxilium Account the cost
is £1 per year, but if bought via a Purchasing
Organisation the cost will depend on the
number of numbers purchased. The cost of
being an Authorised Reader depends on the
size of the organization.
What if the Account Holder
is a child?
It is a requirement to provide your date of
birth, if you are under 18 you will need to
get parental consent. Consent may also be
required for other vulnerable people.
