You could say that we were already successfully providing remote care as I live on Achill Island and have a weekly clinic here. However, I would have often have made a diagnosis over the phone, to one of the two marvellous resident nurses on Clare, based on a photo of an ECG or a wound. The next step might have been requesting a Coastguard helicopter or the lifeboat.
Islander, Jack Pinder graduated with a social science degree from the University of Galway in 2022 and is delighted to be in a position to live at home and work on the project. He started engaging with islanders last year thorough the community newsletter, the WhatsApp group and house visits.
