A virtual consultation enables you to connect with me and my extended healthcare team through video technology, allowing us to meet face-to-face remotely. Using your desktop, laptop, smartphone, or tablet, we’ll engage in real-time conversations where we can both see and hear each other. This approach offers numerous benefits, including saving you travel time and effort, allowing you to receive quality medical advice from the comfort of your home. Whether you need to discuss test results conducted nearby or find yourself far from our London base, virtual consultations minimise disruptions to your life while ensuring continuous and comprehensive follow-up care.
What Services Can I Offer Remotely?
Please get in touch to discuss the range of care available through remote consultations. While treatments like radiotherapy require your presence at a treatment centre, many aspects of your care can be managed online, including:
· Initial consultations if travel is challenging for you.
· Second opinions on diagnoses or treatment plans.
· Follow-up discussions about test results, treatment side effects, or new symptoms.
· Consultations with specialists in talking therapies or dietetics following my referral.
Are There Limitations to Remote Appointments?
Certain procedures still require in-person visits, including:
· Blood tests, though results can be reviewed during a virtual visit
· Imaging tests, which I can be arranged to be acquired locally to you, with follow-up discussions held online
· Radiotherapy, and chemotherapy or immunotherapy infusions
Preparing for Your First Remote Appointment
As a new patient, gathering your medical history is essential for tailoring your care. Prior to your appointment, please prepare:
– Medical reports and test results
– Pathology slides from any biopsies or surgeries
– Results from recent imaging scans
– Details of any previous cancer treatments
– A comprehensive list of your symptoms and all medications you are currently taking
– Your medical insurance details, if applicable
Our initial conversation will closely mirror the discussions we would have in person, with the same attention to your healthcare needs. Should there be a necessity for an in-person consultation, we will identify and discuss it during our video call.
We look forward to providing you with top-tier medical care in a manner that prioritises your convenience and accessibility. Please don’t hesitate to reach out to start your journey to better health with us, virtually.
