WHO definition: “Telehealth involves the use of telecommunications and virtual technology to deliver health care outside of traditional health-care facilities.” (WHO) [accessed 15/03/20]

“Well-designed telehealth schemes can improve health care access and outcomes, particularly for chronic disease treatment and for vulnerable groups. Not only do they reduce demands on crowded facilities, but they also create cost savings and make the health sector more resilient.” (WHO) [accessed 15/03/20]

If you are unable to attend the clinic for your appointment you may be suitable for a Telehealth consultation.

Telehealth consultations are webcam-based consultation that will take up to 20 minutes for an existing patient or 45 minutes for a New Patient. There is no physical contact or hands-on therapy involved in these consultations.

In this consultation, your practitioner can take a detailed history, conduct an investigation virtually into your condition and send you a referral if any further tests are required. You may then be given a diagnosis and management advice that can include exercise, advice and general management.
