Visual Communications simply allows more frequent lectures and access to remote experts for regular training sessions. It also provides safe, hygienic access to experts performing operations and medical procedures to help new up and coming health professionals get first-hand experience.
Multidisciplinary Team Meetings
Visual Communications in MDT Meeting rooms allow professionals from multiple locations to conduct conferences relating to the care of current patients. The incorporation of tailored Audio Visual facilities allows presentations of content including high quality images (from PACS or similar medical imagery system) relating to patient cases, both locally and over the video link.

Visual Communications offers the ability to provide remote patient care. Telemedicine, i.e. the ability to diagnose and resolve medical issues using a video link to the appropriate health professional can help to overcome geographical and staff availability barriers. Access to the correct consultant could potentially life-saving particularly when considering its applications in acute medical diagnosis.
Operating Theatre Applications
One issue in postgraduate training in surgery is accessibility to real-time surgical practices for the purpose of skills development, particularly in new and emerging techniques.
