The event, held at the Medtec Conference, celebrated the pioneering achievements of Brandon's Symposia, an integrated digital media package for healthcare. Symposia's VAIPOR is a unique methodology that uses Internet Protocol to integrate and transfer video and audio over a hospital's existing communications network. This system revolutionises the way hospitals record and transmit all types of procedures and has a significant impact on clinical training and development.

Brandon Medical's latest installation of Symposia is at Leeds Oncology Hospital and integrates microscopy, video-conferencing, document visualisers, patient records and surgical video. The Oncology Hospital is also linked with the Leeds General Infirmary and St James's Hospital by VAIPOR IP.

Brandon was automatically short-listed for the Medilink UK awards after the company picked up the Overall winner and Innovation awards at the regional Medilink Y&H Innovation Day and Healthcare Business Awards 2007.

Mr Graeme Hall, Managing Director of Brandon Medical, said "It is fantastic to have our achievements in innovation recognised not only at a regional level but also in a national competition such as the Medilink UK awards. It's a great pleasure to see our investments in design and technology paying off in the form of brilliant new products."
