Video consultations

Video consultations

Many of our consultants offer video consultations as a convenient alternative to attending an appointment in person. This option is particularly helpful if you are unable to travel to the clinic, have mobility challenges, or simply prefer the comfort and flexibility of being seen from your own home.

A video consultation allows you to speak directly with your consultant in real time, discuss your symptoms or concerns, and receive professional advice, just as you would during a face-to-face appointment. While certain examinations or procedures may still require an in-person visit, video appointments are an effective way to access expert care for many types of follow-up, initial discussions, and treatment planning.

Booking a Video Appointment

If you would like to arrange a video consultation, please contact the individual consultant’s secretary directly. They will be able to advise on availability, guide you through the booking process, and provide details on how to access your appointment. Contact information can be found on each consultant’s profile page.

Preparing for Your Appointment

To ensure you get the most out of your video consultation, we recommend taking a few moments to prepare in advance:

  • Reliable internet connection: A stable broadband or strong mobile data connection is essential to maintain clear communication throughout the appointment.
  • Suitable device: You can join your consultation on a smartphone, tablet, laptop, or desktop computer equipped with a camera and microphone.
  • Quiet, private space: Choose a location where you can speak freely without interruptions. This helps maintain confidentiality and allows you to focus fully on your discussion.
  • Good lighting: Sit in a well-lit area so your consultant can see you clearly. Natural light or a light source positioned in front of you works best.
  • Test your setup: If possible, check your camera, microphone, and any required software or links in advance to avoid delays at the start of your appointment.

Getting the Best from Your Consultation

To make your video consultation as productive as possible:

  • Have a list of questions or symptoms you would like to discuss.
  • Keep any relevant medical information, medications, or documents nearby for easy reference.
  • Be ready a few minutes early and follow the joining instructions provided by the consultant’s secretary.
  • If appropriate, position your device so you can easily show any areas of concern (for example, skin conditions or mobility issues).

Video consultations are designed to be straightforward, secure, and patient-friendly, helping you access expert care wherever you are. If at any point your consultant feels that a face-to-face assessment is necessary, they will advise you on the next steps.

Please contact the individual consultant’s secretary for more information and to book a video appointment.
