Very positive - reduced waiting list for North Manchester Trust from 360 - 34.  Waiting times only 3-4 weeks maximum.  Very well received.  UPDATE - JULY 2002 - The Medway Hospital Trust was a "No star" Failing hospital.  One of the key areas was dermatology, with several thousand long term waiters on the books.  Management employed tds and within 15 weeks of the start of the contract over 3000 patients had been seen.  This successful turnaround was a key element in the hospital being assessed into a two star grade. tds continues to work with the Trust to further reduce and control Dermatology waiting times.  Ongoing teledermatology service provided to Southend on Sea, Castlepoint and Rochford PCT's.  No waiting list for telemedical assessment. Renewed contact with Aintree Acute Trust.  No waiting list for telemedical assessment.  
tds reduced the wailing lists in North Manchester Trust from 18 months to 17 days in 6 weeks in 1999 and have continued to provide this service.
