Video consultations allow patients to connect with healthcare professionals remotely using secure online video technology. They offer similar quality of care as an in-person appointment - just delivered through a convenient and private digital platform. Whether it’s a routine check-up, follow-up review, or specialist advice, video consultations make it easier for patients to access care from home or anywhere with an internet connection.
Please view the information below to prepare for your video consultation.
