Abstract
The COVID-19 pandemic has rejuvenated interest in the possibility of using telemedicine as an approach to providing critical care services to patients in remote areas. Conceptual and governance considerations remain unaddressed. We summarise the first steps in a recent collaborative effort between key organisations in Australia, India, New Zealand, and the UK, and call for an international consensus on standards with due considerations to governance and regulation of this emerging clinical practice.
