Teleconsultation is a type of telemedicine service, where digital information and communication technologies, such as computers and mobile devices are used to deliver health-related information. It provides opportunities to make healthcare more convenient, better coordinated, and closer to home.
In a teleconsultation, patients can have consultations with doctors, nurses and allied health professionals in the comfort of their homes or at a location where privacy is assured. These virtual appointments enable patients to receive ongoing care where in-person clinic consultations are not necessary or possible.
Patients can expect to receive the same level of patient care and medical attention from our healthcare professionals. Medications, Medical Certificates and/or memos, if any, can be issued after a TeleConsult.
Typically first outpatient visits are conducted face-to-face in the clinic. Based on our care team’s assessment, TeleConsult may be offered for the subsequent clinic consultation. Common conditions that are non-emergency in nature can be treated via TeleConsult. Access to the internet through a smart device is required for video consultation. After the session, you may be required to follow up in person for additional health services.
