Article Abstract:

There are mixed views about the value of telemedicine. According to Dr. Grant Kelly, a general practitioner from Chichester, UK, there have been too many costly, ineffective trials in the national health service. He accepts that telemedicine is good for remote areas but does not advocate it in places where there is efficient use of consultants. The clinical director af the accident and emergency department at Pinderfields and Pontefract Hospitals NHS Trust, Michael Playforth, points out the advantage of a link between the two hospitals for diagnostic purposes.

Article Abstract:

An occupational health nurse working at the Guildhall School of Music and Drama, in the UK, treats the 700 student for a range of physical and psychological problems. Tendonitis and muscle strains are common because students practice intensively before a performance or because of poor posture. Students are also under mental pressure as they compete for places in orchestras. Relaxation techniques are taught, and students have access to physiotherapists, counsellors, t'ai chi and shiatsu as well as conventional medical practitioners.
