| I feel confident in detecting congenital heart defects | 1.8 | 4 |
| I find the telemedicine equipment easy to use | 3.4 | 4.8 |
| I think the feedback I get with each tele-linked scan is beneficial | 4.2 | 4.8 |
| I feel awkward performing a FE in front of the paediatric cardiologist | 2.6 | 1.6 |
| I think that it would be better if the fetal echoes were saved on video and sent for interpretation rather than a ‘live’ telemedicine consultation | 2 | 1.4 |
