About the congress
Building on the success of our previous two congresses, this year the focus of our international congress on telehealth and telecare will be on the innovation, integration and implementation of these services.
The congress will bring together people to share experiences and to showcase new ideas, new research and new innovations in telehealth and telecare that have been shown to support improvements in care of people with long-term conditions and other health social care needs.
Why you should attend:
- Come together with colleagues from the UK and abroad to exchange ideas and share experiences in the use of telehealth and telecare.
- Hear about the evidence-base for telehealth and telecare in different settings so that you can make informed decisions on how to use these services.
- Learn about new developments in telehealth and telecare and how they are delivering benefits for patients.
Why attend the International Congress on Telehealth and Telecare?
We spoke to delegates at the International Congress on Telehealth and Telecare 2012, about why the attended this event. As well as opportunities to network, exchange ideas and promote the evidence more widely, it allowed them to consider international case studies and challenge people's thinking through debate.
