A six-month trial of videoconferencing was undertaken between the States of Jersey Health and Social Services in the Channel Islands and the South London and Maudsley NHS Trust in England. The purpose of the project was to evaluate the effectiveness and benefits of obtaining specialist tertiary mental health services not normally available on the island of Jersey. During the six-month pilot project in 2001, five teleconsultations were conducted: two acute psychiatric assessments and three case reviews. In addition, six presentations using videoconferencing were held on forensic psychiatry (24 participants), affective disorders (12), psychosis (8), eating disorders (3), crisis disorders (12) and community specialist teams (12). Results using the Guy s Communication Questionnaire indicated high satisfaction levels from all participants. The project successfully raised the awareness of telemedicine and its potential in the delivery of mental health services in Jersey.

Aims: Although individuals with lower socio-economic position (SEP) have a higher prevalence of mental health problems than others, there is no conclusive evidence on whether mental healthcare (MHC) is provided equitably. We investigated inequalities in MHC use among adults in Stockholm County (Sweden), and whether inequalities were moderated by self-reported psychological distress.
Methods: MHC use was examined in 31,433 individuals aged 18-64 years over a 6-month follow-up period, after responding to the General Health Questionnaire-12 (GHQ-12) in 2014 or the Kessler Six (K6) in 2021.
