Remote Consulting with Dr Andy Eaton
Here are some tips on remote consulting which have been put together from things colleagues have shared during regional training courses.
Please note - there will be exceptions to every rule, trust your instincts, and if something doesn’t feel right, it probably isn’t right. Remember … although we may question whether we will need to go back to the good old days of seeing every patient when this virus eventually tires, as there is an awful lot that can be done safely remotely, there is also a good reason why we have trained generations of doctors to examine their patients.
I’d love to hear others from colleagues who are happy to share … that’s how we all learn.
