This video, from the Institution of Engineering and Technology (IET), explains how a telemedicine system is used by hospitals in the south-east of England to allow consultants to view injuries to patients and offer advice remotely. Software engineer, Scott Reynolds, explains how the system allows hospitals to offer patients the most appropriate treatment and can also save money by avoiding inappropriate referrals.
