During the coronavirus emergency, it is increasingly the case that all general practices and out of hours services, will operate telephone triage and/or conduct telephone or video consultations wherever possible. There has also been a rise in Health Care Assistants using the telephone to conduct some chronic disease reviews.
Consulting with and assessing patients on the phone or by video carries risks, notably by not being able to see and/or examine the patient, and in many cases, HCA’s have had little or no relevant training.
Our training aims to increase your effectiveness; reduce your risk, and enhance your efficient use of time.
