Online meetings made easy in Primary Care

Why have online meetings

  • Transport / distance
  • Time
  • Remote/home working
  • Disability

Types of meeting

  • Online
  • Hybrid
  • F2F

Advantages

  • Obvious – cuts out travel time and parking – but these can be big issues
  • Increases attendance, reduces the cost
  • People can watch the recording if they couldn’t come – don’t even need to be available at the time of the meeting
  • Actually superior experience in some aspects – can hear well, shared screen for content, slides, cocreation in documents – these don’t need to be big meetings… 
  • Sometimes you are enhancing or replacing a big meeting.
  • But can replace smaller meetings and telephone calls

What equipment do you need for an online meeting?

You can start and host a meeting with just your laptop with webcam or tablet

If you just want to get started and give it a try. But if you want to run an effective hybrid meeting:

Host

  • Space – regular or ad hoc
  • Online meeting system: Zoom – https://bit.ly/eGPlearningZoom
  • Data – 2gb broadband minimum 3G
  • Laptop/ desktop ideal:
    • Processor: minimum with 1ghz processor (however I would recommend at least an i3 2 ghz processor or higher)
    • Memory: 2gb ram minimum 4gb ram ideal or more.  
    • Hard drive space: If you want to record your meetings then you will need approximately 1gb hard drive space per hour of meeting time recorded. 
  • Webcam
