Online meetings made easy in Primary Care

Course: https://mailchi.mp/91c7c41991ed/videoconferenceprecourse

 Why have online meetings

• Transport / distance
• Time
• Remote/home working
• Disability

Types of meeting

• Online
• Hybrid
• F2F

Advantages

• Obvious -- cuts out travel time and parking -- but these can be big issues
• Increases attendance, reduces the cost
• People can watch the recording if they couldn’t come -- don’t even need to be available at the time of the meeting
• Actually superior experience in some aspects -- can hear well, shared screen for content, slides, cocreation in documents -- these don’t need to be big meetings… 
• Sometimes you are enhancing or replacing a big meeting.
• But can replace smaller meetings and telephone calls
