- Analysis of a high-quality implementation study in a large London NHS trust examining the benefits and challenges of outpatient video consultation in three services: diabetes, antenatal diabetes and in follow-up after cancer surgery in a large NHS trust.
- The study concluded that ad hoc Skype appointments seemed valuable to help people manage their diabetes and avoided the need to travel for people recovering from pancreatic cancer surgery. However, only a minority of out-patient appointments were thought clinically appropriate or practical to be conducted via video.
