Information about Telemedicine Consultations:  

Telemedicine is the use of video call or video conferencing software in order to carry out dietetic consultations remotely. This differs from face-to-face consultation as we will not be in the same room as each other during the consultation. Some parts of the consultation involving physical examinations (i.e. body weight) may be conducted at your location, and we can discuss these measurements during the consultation. The main benefits of telemedicine consultations are increased flexibility for both parties in terms of the timing and location of consultations. The main risks related to telemedicine consultations include technical difficulties, interruptions, unauthorised access or communication difficulties. I will ensure that your privacy is protected by ensuring nobody else can hear the consultation and using secure and encrypted software. If an issue arises with technology which we cannot fix during the consultation, we can revert to a phone consultation or rearrange the consultation if needed.
