Not too long ago, the internet was a futuristic idea - today we can access it from our homes, offices, even when we're travelling. It has become normal to our everyday lives.

Health service technology advances in the same way - from tomorrow's technology to everyday use in a short time. Check out our pages on developments already made - from the training of surgeons with the aid of videoconferencing to audio visual headsets which allow paramedics to transmit live pictures back to the hospital for on-the-spot medical advice.

Will we still consider these developments futuristic in ten years time? Imagine what technology can bring to your health service... Imagine what the NHS will look like in 50 years...
