Abstract The following paper provides an introduction to the work of the EU funded DISCUS (Distance Information, Support and Communication for European Carers) project. The paper summarises the work carried out in the project since it began in July 1998 and provides an overview of the progress made in defining the needs of professional care workers for such support. The way in which the DISCUS system will satisfy these requirements is also discussed along with the work activities planned for the rest of the project.
