Medical Television Network--an expanding, interactive teleconference facility.
Using proven satellite technology, Medical Television Network has set up a series of permanent UK receive sites for regular, interactive medical teleconferences. The format of the programmes regularly transmitted educates and updates busy doctors in fast-changing fields of medicine, encourages peer-group discussion, and enables the audience to question the expert faculty. This article describes the rationale for this development, the importance of shared 'ownership' with the postgraduate medical centres (PGMCs), the evaluation of audience response, and exciting areas for future growth and development.
