Exploring the impact of telehealth on the work of frontline health professionals within the Whole System Demonstrator study

A central aim of the Whole System Demonstrator (WSD) programme is to find out how telehealth can help people manage their own long-term health conditions and to evaluate the potential benefits of this technological intervention within a randomised control trial. However, the adoption of this intervention at local level will entail significant changes in practice of care, in the division of health care work and in traditional professional-patient relationships and so will be contingent on the support of frontline health professionals directly responsible for its delivery. This was the rationale behind this theme 4 sub study within the Whole System Demonstrator evaluation study
