A consultation without travelling in

Telemedicine offers a consultation with one of our doctors by video or by phone, booked daily. It suits a follow-up conversation or a concern that does not need an in-person examination, without needing to travel to the hospital.

Where a prescription is needed, it is issued to the pharmacy, which can then be collected or sent out through medicine delivery. Telemedicine is also used for follow-up with patients who have travelled home after being seen here, keeping the same doctor involved in the next step of their care.
