#MSCOVID19: face-2-face telemedicine comes of age

I note some of you via the Q&A session are having problems seeing your MS team or getting hold of them via email or telephone. The reason for this may be because they are off ill or self-isolating or they have been redeployed. I am aware that most MS Centres have moved to remote telemedicine clinics, mainly using a phone.

I discovered that the platform that NHSX (formerly NHS Digital) has been pushing AccuRx Fleming for video consultations. It is particularly common for GPs to use this platform. I set it up for myself in literally 5 minutes yesterday and will be doing as many of my remote clinics via the platform, which runs in a web browser or if you want you can use the App.

The following YouTube video shows you how quick and easy it is to get going.

You may want to nudge your NHS team to use this platform if you prefer a face-2-face consultation. The platform is fully NHS compliant and is the one that is used by most NHS GPs.
