They are feasible, acceptable and practical for patients, their families and healthcare professionals. However, video consultations must be offered as an option to enhance care rather than replace in-person home visits, which are required in some situations. Further research is needed to explore how to ensure this increased accessibility is inclusive and supports disadvantaged older patients and those of lower socio-economic position.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1177\/26323524251380632","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2025,10,1]],"date-time":"2025-10-01T05:50:21Z","timestamp":1759297821000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/sage-journals-update-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":5,"title":["Remote and rural communities face inequalities in access to specialist palliative care, could telemedicine enhance care?
