Telemedecine by visioconference
In order to better meet the needs of patients with wounds as well as healthcare professionals in the field, the CRR has decided to set up weekly telemedicine consultations by videoconference as of autumn 2020.
These will be reserved for the follow-up of patients with reduced mobility and should make it possible to optimise the sometimes laborious logistics, as well as facilitate the work of family doctors, health professionals in medical-social centres or establishments, as well as independent carers
