Reviewing long term conditions with Medlink

<p>We have another episode looking at the care of patients with long term conditions, today we are joined by Dr Lorenz Kemper of <a href='https://medlinksolutions.co.uk/'>Medlink Solutions</a>. This is a system for carrying out online clinical reviews and can be used for reviews of conditions like asthma and diabetes, as well as a variety of other uses like medications reviews, submitting blood pressure readings, or reviews of patients on HRT or the contraceptive pill. Lorenz discusses how Medlink started up, how it provides practices with more options for reviewing patients and can prompt an overhaul for the entire approach to review of chronic conditions.  </p> <p>NHS England is supporting Primary Care to move towards a <a href='https://www.england.nhs.uk/gp/digital-first-primary-care/'>Digital First approach</a>, where patients can easily access the advice, support and treatment they need using digital and online tools.</p> <p>In Scotland, the Technology Enabled Care (TEC) programme is looking at a number of <a href='https://tec.scot/programme-areas/connect-me-remote-health-pathways'>Remote Health pathways</a>, including a national DACS solution.</p> <p><a href='https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FH_qCung5UU&t=48s'>What is Medlink? video</a></p> <p><a href='https://tec.scot/programme-areas/remote-health-pathways/resources/general-practice-digital-asynchronous-consultation-systems-online-triage-solution'>Technology Enabled health Care GP DACS updates.</a></p> <p><a href='https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hKggZhYwoys'>Barbara Fredrickson: Positive Emotions Transform Us</a></p> <p><a href='https://podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/scottish-national-users-group-snug-podcast/id1472287529'>SNUG podcast on Apple podcasts</a></p> <p><a href='https://podcasts.google.com/feed/aHR0cHM6Ly9mZWVkLnBvZGJlYW4uY29tL3NudWdoZWFsdGgvZmVlZC54bWw'>SNUG podcast on Google podcasts</a></p> <p><a href='https://open.spotify.com/show/4cvKeEhj3jCZFzx2XcIy22?si=b767e7d6883b483f'>SNUG podcast on Spotify</a></p>
