Video consulting in the NHS

Guidance and resources for NHS patients and clinicians to support online consultations

These accessible guides and resources are available to anyone considering using video technology as part of an NHS consultation. They are designed to be relevant to any technology or clinical setting.

The guides have been developed as a collaboration between Barts Health NHS Trust and Design Science with the IRIHS Group, led by Professor Trish Greenhalgh and Professor Sara Shaw.

In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, healthcare organisations rapidly introduced remote consulting in an effort to avoid face-to-face contact and control the spread of infection.
