Online Article: Virtual visits in palliative care: about time or against the grain

Published earlier this year, two UK hospices looked at the issues relating to virtual visits including clinical issues, ethical, logistical, and relating to the Covid-19 lockdown.    They found a number of areas to help guide longer term service design, but concluded a one size fits all approach was a poor fit.   They concluded virtual visits have great potential but not in any way a complete solution.
