Initial success of internet based video conferencing for prehospital care clinical governance meetings

BASICS (Scotland) provides education and support in prehospital emergency care to healthcare providers throughout remote and rural Scotland. Nationally, the organisation enables 176 healthcare providers who respond to prehospital emergency calls in their locality in support of the Scottish Ambulance Service. Given the geographical challenges faced by rural responders wishing to attend such meetings, a specific issue we faced was how to enable these meetings to be provided on a virtual platform which would allow participation in group discussion.

This presentation considered the development of regular ‘virtual’ meetings whereby responders are able to discuss cases, be informed of latest service developments and obtain peer support for rural prehospital care in Scotland.
