During national lockdowns due to Covid-19 there was a rapid move to telehealth to provide continuity of care to patients. This gave clinicians and patients a chance to experience telehealth with surveys showing a positive response.

In order to capitalise on this new openness to change, organisations need to invest in suitable telehealth technology and the digital systems and processes that enable a quality telehealth service to be routinely offered and delivered to patients.

This webinar explores the cultural shift that occurred due to the pandemic and how to make telehealth a sustainable choice for patients and health professionals going forward.

She has had a keen interest in Telehealth since her outback days and has been the Deputy Chair of the New Zealand Telehealth Forum since 2013. She was appointed to the new position of Clinical Director of Virtual Healthcare for the Waikato DHB in 2015 and both roles allow her a glimpse into the future where patients have better access to the care that they deserve.
