This webinar will bring from those on the frontline delivery of services along with expert opinion and emerging evidence.
The pandemic resulted in a rapid expansion of virtual consultations in primary, secondary and community care services. Although virtual and telephone consultations have been available for a long time, they were not widely adopted. Now we need to better understand how to promote virtual consultations without worsening existing health inequalities.
This webinar will ask:
- What has the sector learnt from the rapid expansion of virtual consultations?
- Are different skills required for remote working?
- Have virtual consultations widened or narrowed the vast avoidable inequalities in healthcare and health outcomes (mortality and morbidity) for different service user groups?
- What about ongoing concerns about confidentiality, safety and security?
- How will it help to improve access and delivery going forward and tackle the ever-increasing waiting list dilemma?
