Videoconferencing with HNET
Our training network has doctors based at metropolitan, regional and rural sites. All of these trainees have the very reasonable expectation that they will have access to a high quality formal education program. We have prepared a document which sets minimum standards in videoconferecing equipment for external sites that link in to our training programs and we have outlined techniques and etiquette to maximise the quality of each videoconferencing session. Download the "Videoconferencing With HNET" document here. We also have a presenter training video available for those lecturers who would like some pointers on effective and interactive teaching via the videoconference medium.
