Online consultation case study

Editor's Notes

  • #6 Patients will already have access to transactional services such as online appointment booking and repeat prescriptions. Aside from offering patients the options of consulting with their own GP, we also supplement the offer with self-help and sign-posting options in an attempt to top-slice some demand away from practice into other appropriate environments. These services can be tailored to add in suitable locally commissioned services (services that have online self-referral options work well here) Eg. In the case of depression or anxiety we would be able to drop in options for local a local CBT service.
  • #11 Patient friendly language
  • #12 Patient friendly language
  • #13 Red-Flag questions are embedded in each questionnaire to intercept patients with serious symptoms and direct them to take urgent action immediately
