With the marathon, not only the joy of successfully holding the event, but also the pain of the contestants and even the sadness of sudden death. In order to reduce the occurrence of such problems, this paper studies the emergency system of marathon runners based on telemedicine technology. The experimental results show that the research on first-aid bears for athletes based on telemedicine technology can save a lot of time and managers, improve the efficiency of first aid by 3.45%, and provide first-aid services for injured athletes at the first time, so as to ensure the health of athletes, ensuring the confidence and well-being of athletes participating in the marathon.

A Solution Focused Approach of Delivering Virtual Paediatric Diabetes Consultations During the COVID-19 Pandemic

The onset of the COVID-19 global pandemic rapidly accelerated the use of virtual consultations into everyday practice. A solution focused approach (SFA) has been established in paediatric diabetes care, resulting in positive clinical outcomes and communication. The aim of this study was to assess feedback from paediatric diabetes patients and their parents or carers regarding virtual consultations, using a solution focused approach, in a hospital setting. An electronic survey was sent to patients following their virtual consultation. Of those surveyed, 86% recommended video consultations to be part of their diabetes care. Qualitative data showed reduced travel time, comfort, reduced need for parking and convenience as the highest areas improved through video consultations. Clinical care was shown to be positive and addressed patients concerns, the majority of respondents (84%) reported that the appointment was about what they wanted it to be about. Using the solution focused model helped overcome the challenges faced with virtual consultations particularly with concerns surrounding safeguarding issues, confidentiality, audio/video difficulties and also helped to support the patient journey.
