Dr Noreen Lineen-Curtis is a GP on 3 western islands off the coast of Mayo - Clare Island, Achill Beg and Inishbiggle. She's been a GP for over 20 years, and is the daughter of a GP as well.
She describes how telemedicine and remote medicine is making a huge difference to ensuring patients can have consultations with hospital based consultants without leaving the island.
She also gives due credit to the role and work of practice nurses on the islands who provide an essential role in managing the needs of patients on the ground.
GP Works is produced by Aileen O'Meara for the Irish College of General Practitioners. You can contact the podcast at media@icgp.ie
