Systems and Applications

Medical Image Manager – MIM

Medical Image Manager is a purpose-built database solution which allows healthcare professionals to access clinical photographs at workstations using a simple web browser. The system has been fully implemented within the acute hospitals of NHS Greater Glasgow and Clyde.

To log onto MIM click the Medical Image Manager link here or access directly via the Clinical Portal.

Registration: To register to use the system, please complete the MIM System Access Request Form. This form can be filled in electronically but must be signed and authorised: unsigned electronic copies will not be processed. Due to the sensitive nature of the images held within the database, access is restricted. 

Important: Users must have an active XGGC account and Clinical Portal account to register for the system.

Please be aware that access to any patient identifiable information is governed by the Data Protection Act 1998.  Your rights and responsibilities under this act can be found in the NHS Code of Practice on Protecting Patient Confidentiality.

Email us if you have any enquiries.

Secure Clinical Image Transfer – SCIT

Clinical photographs used for treatment planning, diagnosis, and recording and monitoring the progress of a patient’s condition, form an essential part of the patient’s healthcare record.

The Secure Clinical Image Transfer (SCIT) app is NHS Greater Glasgow and Clyde’s approved method for capturing clinical photographs securely on a registered mobile device in acute and community settings.

Authorised users of the SCIT app should familiarise themselves with the SCIT Usage Policy, NHSGGC’s Information Security, Mobile Communications, and Recordings (Photography and Video) for Clinical and Service Use policies, and work in compliance with them at all times.

SCIT can only be used on NHS GGC-owned devices, and should only be used if professional clinical photography services are not available. SCIT cannot be used on personal devices at this point in time.

Approved devices: NHS GGC-issued Samsung mobile phones (ordered through Telecomms)

Users will be audited in terms of user access, data input, and image quality, and notified of any issues; if ongoing, you’ll be removed from the authorised list and the SCIT app deactivated.

If you have an approved device, you can apply for access to SCIT.

Training: Watch the SCIT Overview and Training video for more information.
