The Royal College of Nursing (RCN) have produced a very comprehensive guide for health care practitioners showing how the use of technology can compliment nursing practice.

This guide shows all of the areas that need consideration in order to successfully implement an eHealth programme.  It presents a very balanced view of eHealth – detailing both benefits and potential drawbacks.

We wholeheartedly agree with what Dr. Peter Carter, RCN Chief Executive and General Secretary has written in the foreword of this guide – “people rightly expect healthcare to meet their needs quickly”, “we know technology such as telehealth works, so let us improve access to it right across the UK”, “now is the time to put the power back in the hands of the patient.”
