Who should be interested in VitruCare?
VitruCare should be of interest to people who receive their healthcare from the National Health Service in England. People who have one, or more than one health issue. An example might be someone who has diabetes, raised blood pressure or some kidney trouble. Or a person who deals with multiple conditions at the same time. Or someone for whom the trip to the doctor is too long and would like to speak by video call. Or a person who would like to stay in charge of making choices and stay informed about the care being provided by several organisations at the same time. Or people caring for others. There are so many uses.
