TELE-CARDIOLOGY -
BRINGING CARDIOLOGY CLOSER TO THE PATIENT


Royal Society of Medicine
The aim of this day is to provide an insight into what telemedicine can make available to assist in the diagnosis and ongoing care of cardiac patients.  Our ten speakers will share their experiences of the provision of
· Specialist care to children and pregnant women,
· How ECGs taken in the Community are being diagnosed in hospitals and in Call Centres
· How patients can undertake their own ECGs when intermittent symptoms arise  and their views about this
· On-going care in the community for patients in heart failure

This meeting is aimed at all staff working in Cardiology Units, General Practice and the community who wish to find out more about what telemedicine can offer.  It will be of equal interest to managers, budget holders and all clinical staff
