Education and training of practice nurses

Abstract
Seventeen nurses in eight rural general practices participated in a distance education project. Low-cost videoconferencing equipment was assessed for its suitability in two training sessions, concerning asthma and travel immunization. The intended learning outcomes were reached and although initially apprehensive, the nurses quickly became accustomed to the medium. Videoconferencing has now become an accepted part of in-service training. Technical reliability remains the most important problem.
