NHS Direct

Introduction

NHS Direct is a 24-hour nurse-led helpline covering the whole of England and Wales. In terms of target population, it is the biggest telemedicine project in the UK. As such, it deserves its own special entry in TIS.

This page (which is under construction) contains links to resources relating to it.
