Remote Consultation

This module is for health and social care practitioners in settings where telephone and video consultations occur. The emphasis is on the conversations held in telephone or video consultations (although various messaging, email and text services play their part). Practitioners will become aware of how such consultations are both the same, and also different, to face to face ones. The module explores how to use existing consultation skills, in focussed ways, to compensate for the differences. Telephone and video consultations will deliver safe, personalised care and achieve excellent outcomes, when practitioner and patient collaborate to create effective, individualised care plans.
