Teleconsultations · Bryanston
Good primary care can sometimes start remotely.
Teleconsultations give patients a convenient way to speak to the practice when an in-person examination may not be necessary at the outset.
When it can work well
Convenient care, with clinical judgement still guiding the format.
Review progress, discuss results or reassess a concern where a physical examination is not essential.
Review medication, side effects and ongoing treatment where clinically appropriate.
Discuss symptoms and decide whether home care, investigation, follow-up or an in-person assessment is the right next step.
Talk through blood-test or investigation results and understand what they mean in context.
When in-person care is better
Some concerns still need an examination.
Teleconsultation is not intended to replace physical assessment when the doctor needs to examine you, measure something directly, perform a procedure or assess an urgent concern.
If the consultation suggests that an in-person examination is needed, the practice can guide you toward the appropriate next step.
How it works

Contact the practice via WhatsApp and request a teleconsultation.
