NHS North Yorkshire and York Telehealth expansion

NHS North Yorkshire and York are planning to purchase an additional 2 000 telehealth systems to support patients living with long-term health conditions in the area, making it the largest scale Telehealth programme in the United Kingdom.


In 2008-2009, more than 6 000 patients in North Yorkshire and York were admitted to hospital with respiratory or cardiac problems. The announcement of the additional 2 000 Telehealth systems follows an eight month trial of the Telehealth technology which has demonstrated the huge benefits it can bring for both patients and clinicians alike.

WSDAN's first briefing paper 'Sustaining innovation in telehealth and telecare' has been launched.

WSDANis an online resource on telecare, telehealth and the management of long-term conditions. The Network is run by The King’s Fund and DH Care Networks and is funded by the Department of Health.

This briefing paper is just the first in a series of WSDAN briefing papers on ‘Sustaining Innovation in Telehealth and Telecare’. More to follow!
