Call for papers: Telemedicine Experiences in Family Medicine / General Practice / Primary care

Telemedicine, following a rapid expansion during the recent pandemic, is now considered an integral aspect of family doctors' and nurses' healthcare services. It has been integrated into every aspect of the primary care health system, and it will only grow and develop in the near future. We want to learn from each other’s experiences with this new technology and this way of working, including doctor-patient communication, new tools, and new applications to enhance the quality of care provided, while also addressing the existing digital divide.
