Today main Topic is Video Consultations…

 

Remember listeners - we are not experts, these are just our opinions

 

Is there demand?

• Venture capital and investors are putting money behind it so there is believe in the technology and concept from investors.
• @UNHS_Cripps Have experimented with
• @MattHancock (Health Secretary) is a GP at Hand patient and advocate of technology and is behind the concept.

 

But what problem are we solving?

• Low capacity or convenience?
• Probably more for patient convenience than increase capacity - but maybe if replaces home visits?...
