Summary:
Teleneurology is the use of telecommunications to improve the delivery of neurology services. A wide range of telecommunications techniques may be used, including the telephone, email, the Internet and videoconferencing. Teleneurology can improve access to specialist neurological services for patients all over the world.
Teleneurology also deals with more specialized fields that are of interest to
the neurological practitioner, such as neurophysiology and neuroradiology. The
book combines comprehensive reviews of each topic with practical advice on all
available telemedicine techniques and on navigating the Internet for the
most up-to-date neurological information.
The fifth in a line of best selling telemedicine titles edited by Richard Wootton, Teleneurology is written by experts from four continents, providing a succinct introduction to teleneurology. It should prove invaluable for practising neurologists in particular, but also for general practitioners, paramedical staff, health service managers and IT staff.
Reviews:
As a means of tackling the serious problem of limited access of patients to expert neurological assessment, teleneurology has enormous potential and the authors are to be congratulated for providing an excellent introduction…. The book is well illustrated, practical and thought provoking…

a pleasure to read…I strongly recommend this book to everyone engaged in the practice of clinical neurology and equally important to those with responsibility for the commissioning and management of services for people with neurological disorders.
