title: Telehealth brings benefits.
abstract: A telehealth clinical lead writing in Primary Health Care says that for the NHS to thrive, front line staff and patients must be empowered. New ways of working are needed and the use of technology should be maximised. Telehealth allows nurses to work more efficiently, communicate better with patients and families, and improve health outcomes cost-effectively. The author encourages frontline nurses to implement changes in the work place and suggests NHS Change Day in October as a starting point. The article also notes the importance of social media in opening up opportunities to connect with other nurses.
