    Interested to hear if anybody is experiencing the rapid deployment of virtual consultations in outpatients? Is this stuff being captured/reported? Or just moving at pace?

      We are capturing it in Torbay and South Devon – happening very very quickly. Liz Procter (fellow Q member) is keeping excellent project management documentation

        That’s fantastic. Improvers coming into their own. I’m hearing the RCP has been asked to find a physician to blog on new virtual consultations. We have faculty in Torbay, so I’ll see if I can find a willing volunteer

      I’d be really interested to hear this from both the physician point of view. I’ve just made my 1st appointment that will be done by phone and I am surprised at the anxieties that are attached to that already

      Hi Katie – are you talking about your anxieties (if so, what are they) or patient anxieties? (again what are they)? I might then be able to give you a more focussed response

      Hi

      I’m leading on the rollout of virtual clinics at Sheffield Children’s. Prior to the Covid, we had just commenced a project to implement this, but we’ve had to massively scale up our approach. In one week we managed to test virtual clinics and had around 80% success (though with very low numbers) using our existing videoconferencing platform, and we’re looking to roll out Attend Anywhere at pace. We’ve only just commenced this project, but we’re looking to deploy over the next few weeks. Happy to answer any more queries if I can.

      Hi everyone,

      Last week we hosted a webinar on virtual consultations, with Prof Trish Greenhalgh sharing her research. Whilst much of the focus was primary care, there was a discussion about secondary. Some of the resources alongside the recording include the work that Barts are doing (as part of the HF Scaling up Programme). NHS Near Me in Scotland covers primary, outpatients and inpatients.

      We have just started a special interest group on virtual consultations. You can join the group here: https://q.health.org.uk/community/groups/video-consultations-how-to-set-them-up-well-fast/
