Abstract
Semi-structured interviews were carried out to determine the expectations of potential participants in a feasibility study of teleconsulting. General practitioners produced high positive scores in all areas. Hospital consultants produced high scores but were more critical of technical performance and administrative arrangements. Patient satisfaction with teleconsulting was generally good. The results suggested that teleconsulting was both feasible and acceptable to the users.Keywords
