NHS staff who use the health service’s email service NHSmail have been informed that
after a recent move to Microsoft Exchange their mailbox size has been capped.
Some 80% of NHS accounts have been capped at just 200Mb, which
appears miserly compared with the hefty 6Gb offered by Gmail for free, or
the 5Gb offered for free on Windows Live Hotmail.

2. Clinical tips
3. Social factors
4. Finances
Stick to patients you know
Safest for known patients
Explain that service is not for emergencies
The longer your team has worked with the patient the
less likely they will leave out important information
Saying thank you means the patient will help you even
more next time
3. Social factors
4. Finances
Protect patients from relatives…
Relatives may bully patient
You must assess whether or not the patient can make
independent decisions from their relatives
They would like to help but have lacked the legal and
technical tools to pitch in
4. Finances
Start asking for payment
US payers recognize the value of
working online by paying for it
Best outcomes when payer and clinician work together
But if you ask, then start doing the work, and have
results to show for it, you can get paid
We built our software for this
Secure NHS web site
Patient writes message to you
Ticks box for topic: this is what you
use for analysis in the future
