Revolutionising General Practice: The Virtual Remote Consulting Conference

Revolutionising General Practice: The Virtual Remote Consulting Conference

As stated in the Using Online Consultations in Primary Care Implementation Toolkit:

“We have an opportunity to revolutionise General Practice. Online consultations implemented inclusively, as part of a comprehensive primary care service, can enhance the experience of care for patients and support general practice in managing time and workloads, improving both access and sustainability.”

By now, we are all too aware that the recent outbreak of COVID-19 is placing unprecedented strain on the NHS and will continue to do so over the coming months. Digital and technology solutions have a crucial role to play in the NHS Response, with telephone, video, and online tools helping the NHS to provide safe and effective care while reducing face-to-face appointments. The effective deployment of video consultation tools in secondary, as well as primary, care will help not only to minimise the risk of transmitting COVID-19 but can also enable clinical staff to care for patients from home should they need to.

Teams from across NHS England/ Improvement and NHSX have now created an interactive toolkit that provides a view of what to think about before, during, and after the implementation of remote consulting services. It shares case studies and evidence to help you tailor your implementation journey and support you in going further faster and more successfully.

Key toolkit aims:
1. To focus on people, not technology. Adopting the tools alone will not transform care; they must be combined with a new way of working
2. Share good practice underpinned by evidence and professional guidance
3. Describe critical success factors for making the most of innovative technology
4. Bring to life the opportunity. Case studies enable you to learn directly from practices with practical advice about what works
5. Help practices build connections with peers, learn collaboratively and join a virtual learning platform
6. Support progress towards delivering the requirements of the GMS contract, Network contract DES and the vision of the Long-Term Plan We invite you to adapt this toolkit to develop your local plans.

Our 2nd Revolutionising General Practice: Remote Consulting virtual conference will open the debate on primary care remote consulting and provide a unique opportunity to meet with peers/ sector-leading speakers and commercial thought leaders, all from your front room!
