Telemedicine in the Top End

Abstract

What Do Aboriginal Prisoners, an obstetrician, and a psychiatry trainee have in common? They all used the same video conference room in Darwin, to make contact with other parts of the country—each for rather different purposes. For the prisoners, a chance to talk to their home communities; the obstetrician participated in an Australia-wide link-up for quality assurance purposes; and we held our weekly supervision session.
