Telecare Services Association appoints Telehealth Development Manager

Wednesday, 24 June 2009 07:00

The Telecare Services Association (TSA) has appointed Jane Turner as its first Telehealth Development Manager. That is, someone to be the focus of developing the telehealth side of the TSA. Her job will be to work with the TSA's Telehealth Management Board to develop and implement a telehealth strategy and to promote telehealth to TSA members, the majority of which are telecare call centre organisations.

According to the TSA...

Jane is a registered nurse with an MSc in Health Care Studies and a PGDip in Research. She has extensive experience in the telehealth sector, working as Research Associate in the Telehealth Trials Unit, University of Oxford. She also has a strong commercial background, having worked at a senior level in health care informatics for over 10 years.

[Telehealth Trials Unit? I always Google things I've not heard of...the nearest I could find was the Department of Primary Healthcare Research Group (see this, which looks like it relates to the work of t+medical which is an Oxford spin-off). I will be delighted to be pointed in another direction. Steve ]

...a pointer in another direction might be HDTI at Coventry university. I believe they have a product trials unit. Athough not eclusively dedicated to telehealth, they told me at Naidex that they very much welcome telehealth projects. I could give a link to their website, but as we are in the 'knowledge economy' I present a You Tube video link instead!

University of Oxford
Department of Primary Health Care
Diabetes and Vascular Disease Group
Telehealth Trials Unit

And a recent publication: Implementation of telehealth support for patients with type 2 diabetes using insulin treatment: an exploratory study
