Abstract
The Defence Medical Services (DMS) Telemedicine Unit won awards for innovation from the British Computer Society in 1998 and the current version of the software went live on 7th April 2003. We present a review of the referrals made to the Unit from April 2003 to March 2005. Over this two-year period the Unit received 110 referrals from areas such as Falkland Islands, Bosnia, Ghana, HMS Ocean and Belize. We consider the referral patterns; reporting times; ease of use; and clinical consequences of the system.
