Funded Activity Summary

This project will investigate the impact of videophone communication between patients wishing to remain at home for their palliative care and their outreach nurses in a remote setting. Patients visited at home will be identified by their palliative care nurses and asked to give consent to have a videophone installed. The carers and nurses will evaluate the impact of the videophones using a questionnaire at the completion of the episode of care. Because suitable telephone lines are available throughout most country areas and the devices are portable and as easy to use as a telephone the use of videophones between palliative care nurses and remote nurses or between patients, if effective, will be widely applicable.
