Tele-Education
From
the comfort of the Telehealth Programme, clinicians can
meet regularly for a variety of educational activities,
including broadcasting “virtual” rounds, journal
clubs and case presentations to colleagues. These education
sessions may involve two centres (point-to-point) or more
sites connected at one time (multi-point). The real advantage
of using videoconferencing for education is that entire
programs and multi-disciplinary teams from different institutions
can participate in a single event. This ability to connect
with teams from different institutions enriches the learning
experience for everyone involved.
Videoconferencing
is a powerful medium to convey material, but it must be
used appropriately to maximize the benefit for both the
participants and the presenter. As videoconferencing presentations
are different from presentations given in person, Telehealth
staff member will be available to provide advice and support
for local presenters. Presentations may need to be altered
slightly to fit the videoconferencing format. The Telehealth
Programme Manager will meet with all presenters to demonstrate
the technology and to determine the audio-visual requirements
for the presentation.

Telehealth Programme suite is equipped with a range of audio-visual
