Abstract
The COVID-19 pandemic has accelerated the move towards remote clinical consultations. Heather Henry explains how remote asthma consultations can be conducted effectively The COVID-19 pandemic has lead to a rapid increase in remote clinical consultations. Telephone, text messaging and video-based consultations reduce the need for face-to-face consultations that might increase the risk of infection. Appropriate triage is key to the safety of remote consultations. The evidence so far is that, with careful triage, remote consultations are as effective as traditional face-to-face consultations and could be more resource and time effective both for nurses and patients. There are pros and cons to each method of remote consultation. This article will look at the technique for conducting a successful video consultation.
