Abstract :
LIVERPOOL´S Alder Hey Children´s Hospital is launching a telemedicine scheme that will let specialists consult with young patients in far-flung areas through video link, reducing the need to make lengthy journeys. The project will allow paediatric consultants to use video technology to review and assess children living with chronic neurological conditions at locations as far afield as Bangor and the Isle of Man, saving time and resources and making it easier for patients to access expert consultation.
