I have been asked by a Medical Director if I know anyone with expertise in the field of providing remote support for elderly patients in rural areas. I believe the RCP are exploring the use of computers, Skype, mobile 'phones etc to enable older people to have follow-up consultations, make enquiries to hospitals or GPs without subjecting them to long and sometimes arduous travel using very poor public transport services. I could not, of course, provide an answer - very much not my field. So I'm visiting this list to see whether anyone from the BSA Medical Sociology community can help me. The Medical Director may want to meet any such expert or at least speak to them on the 'phone or by Skype.
Any takers, or anyone who has suitable contacts not on your email list, please contact me at [log in to unmask]
Many thanks,
