Telepaeds

Hospital-to-home video conferencing targeting children (with chronic and/or life threatening illness) and their carers, living in remote or non-metropolitan areas. The Community Access Programme is the first of its kind in New Zealand.
Parent to Parent has been using the video conferencing equipment and has found it to be a very useful and effective tool for enhancing organisational communication and culture, and for linking families and communities together. Families accessing our services have now begun to use the equipment to enable face-to-face meetings to take place between them. The equipment also enables them to access specialists in different centres. The ability to do this is enormously important, especially to those families whose children have rare or complicated conditions which require specialist medical care and who are geographically isolated from medical experts.
