When booking an online medical appointment, individuals can anticipate a streamlined and convenient healthcare experience. The process usually involves selecting a suitable date and time from the available slots, providing basic personal information, and if you wish to do so, briefly detailing the reason for the appointment. After confirming the booking, patients receive a confirmation email with instructions on how to access the virtual appointment platform.
During the appointment, the healthcare provider will discuss the medical concern, ask relevant questions, and may request additional information like medical history or symptoms. Depending on the situation, the provider might offer a diagnosis, treatment recommendations, or advice for further tests. Overall, online medical appointments offer a flexible and accessible way to receive expert medical guidance while minimising the need for in-person visits.
When selecting a clinician you will be able to see their HCPC (or equivalent) number which guarantees their professional registration (you can also view them on the HCPC website). Additionally, you will get access to their DBS report number to ensure that there is no history of criminal activity.
