Useful Tips and Advice

Join your appointment at least 15 minutes early to allow for preparation time
Speak clearly so your voice can be picked up by the microphone
Look at the camera so you can achieve good eye contact with the clinician
You and a clinician from our practice will be on a computer screen, tablet or smartphone at each end of the video consultation.
Poor quality internet connections can often interfere with the quality of the video conference. Therefore, please use the fastest connection you have available (mobile or broadband) and the device with highest resolution/quality webcam/rear facing camera
At the start of the consultation the GP will introduce themselves and the reason for the consultation will be explained. You will be asked some identifying questions such as your name, address, and date of birth to make sure the right patient, right doctors and right health records are present. The clinician will speak with you and ask you questions in the same way as they would at a face-to-face consultation
