### Telehealth Video Conference

Four Scottish care homes will use video to allow residents to join the telehealth services project. This means that they can get together via a televised link, and join group singalongs and other chair-based exercises in unity.

## Virtual Clinical Consultation

And this is only the beginning, as health staff are aiming to build virtual clinical consultation and support groups to be accessed digitally.

Telehealth programme manager, Morag Hearthy, stated: “Benefits include ease of accessibility and helping residents maintain their own independence without having to leave their homely setting for routine checks, where safe and appropriate.

The value of the other activities shouldn’t be underestimated – technology allows people to remain connected and forge new relationships.”
