New Odyssey contracts

North East Lincolnshire PCT have signed a 3-year contract for both Odyssey Reception and Odyssey TeleAssess to help in the management of their out-of-hours service. This means Odyssey is now being used across all of Lincolnshire's out-of-hours services.

Ruth Thompson, Clinical Implementation Manager of North East Lincolnshire PCT, commented:

"To deliver a gold standard service you need to have the right support - and using Odyssey will give all our clinicians the confidence that the advice they are giving is evidence based and safe and also the satisfaction that we will be joining the many other customers of Odyssey giving exemplary service to patients."

Portsmouth City NHS have signed a 3-year contract for Odyssey TeleAssess, for use in their new expanded out-of-hours service and Odyssey FaceToFace for their walk-in-centre and minor injuries unit.

Betsi Cadwaladr UHB, who recently took the decision to bring their out-of-hours service provision in-house for the whole of North Wales, have signed a contract for the use of Odyssey TeleAssess.

International expansion

Avia Health Informatics Inc. has been incorporated in the USA and is now looking for direct sales and to appoint resellers in the USA, Latin America and Canada.

In Australia Avia has appointed Clarity Business and IT Solutions ("Clarity") as its first Australian reseller. Clarity consultants are noted for their healthcare expertise and track record of working with public sector IT projects. Clarity visited Avia's Australian reference site in New South Wales and met with Professor Rob Crouch, Avia's Director of Practice Innovation, in preparation for the reseller partnership.

Jayson Hawke, Director, Clarity Business and IT Solutions commented:

"Clarity is excited to be working with the Avia team on expanding the Australian market for the Odyssey suite of products. The health care system within Australia is currently undertaking numerous, reform changes. These overhauls are the largest changes to the Australian health, hospitals and aged care system in decades. This brings with it many new and exciting opportunities to position the Odyssey products and demonstrate the unique proposition provided."

Barry Giddings, Executive Chairman of Avia, commented:

"Despite the uncertainty in the NHS, we continue to expand our client base and are very excited to be supporting three additional UK PCTs. We are also delighted to have our US operation in place and to have appointed our first Australian reseller, these will lead to further international sales."
