Description
Summary
Offer patients an effective appointment alternative with Video Consult. Available on multiple platforms, including desktop, and native iOS and Android apps, Video Consult can be used alongside any GP clinical system and offers additional integration with EMIS Web and Patient Access.
Full description
Whether a patient is housebound, has a long-term condition or simply can’t fit an appointment at your premises into their day, Video Consult can help. By allowing patients to get the help they need without travelling to your surgery, it improves both their experience and access to care.
Our secure video consultation system has the option to integrate with Patient Access to give patients a convenient and accessible alternative to traditional appointments.
Providing a convenient alternative to traditional appointments, our video consultation software for GPs allows patients to consult with their clinician over video. It means that, no matter if they’re in the office, at home or somewhere else, patients can still get the help they require – even at times that they normally wouldn’t be able to make.
