Abstract:
A telemedicine facility was established for the Faculty of Medicine of the University of Aberdeen and developed as a laboratory to help ensure a scientific approach to the implementation of telemedicine. Once a service application has been positively evaluated and established then it should be funded and delivered outside the laboratory, thus freeing up time and resources for the evaluation of new areas. Since it would appear that the practice of telemedicine is here to stay, it would also seem reasonable to suggest that an introduction to telemedicine should be included in the medical undergraduate curriculum.
