Last month, our CEO, Sheila McClelland, contributed to a panel discussion on telehealth at the National Council of State Boards of Nursing (NCSBN) Midyear Meeting.

NCSBN is an independent, not-for-profit organisation that supports nursing regulators in their mandate to protect the public.  It brings organisations together on matters of common interest and concern affecting public health, safety and welfare, including the development of nursing licensure examinations.

During the Education Day of the Midyear Meeting on 30 March, Sheila was part of a panel of international regulators who discussed the future of telehealth and its implications for regulatory bodies. The discussion followed a number of presentations on the latest research on telehealth. Among the speakers were William England, Senior Advisor in the Office for the Advancement of Telehealth at the Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA); Brendan Martin, Research Director at NCSBN and Maryann Alexander, Chief Officer, Nursing Regulation at NCSBN.
