Dag Larsson, chief executive of Doccla, added: ‘Our partnership with NHS Greater Glasgow and Clyde marks a major milestone in the evolution of virtual care. Together, we are laying the foundation for the hospital of the future - digitally enabled, patient-focused, and built around delivering care where it's needed most.'
