Virtual Group Consultations Webinar 5
The British Society of Lifestyle Medicine, American College of Lifestyle Medicine, Australasian Society of Lifestyle Medicine and the Lifestyle Medicine Global Alliance have joined forces to develop a series of resources around virtual group consultations.
The covid-19 pandemic has raised a new series of challenges for health professionals treating patients with chronic conditions. Crucially, how can we continue to deliver continuity of care for patients with non-communicable illnesses during the international lockdown?
Virtual group consultations offer an innovative solution – which has the potential to benefit both patients and clinicians.
Join us on Thursday, July 30th for the fourth in our series of free webinars on virtual group consultations during covid-19.
The webinar is brought to you by the British Society of Lifestyle Medicine, American College of Lifestyle Medicine, Australasian Society of Lifestyle Medicine and the Lifestyle Medicine Global Alliance in partnership with the Group Consultations programme.
Group consultations (also known as shared medical appointments) have always been an integral part of the lifestyle medicine approach – however the way we deliver them is now changing in response to the covid-19 pandemic.
The webinar will provide an overview of Virtual Group Consultations, and will provide clinicians with the skills and resources to safely and efficiently support patients with chronic disease during the international lockdown.
For this webinar we will be joined by a number of patients who have participated in virtual group consultations.
The webinar will help clinical teams to:
- Inform and empower patients at high risk of Covid-19
- Manage triage of Covid-19 symptomatic patients safely and efficiently
- Provide continuity of care for chronic disease patients you are normally seen face to face
- Consider virtual groups for antenatal care
- Motivate and engage staff who are self-isolating or infected by contributing to the effort and safely delivering care
- Assist post-Covid-19 pandemic care for patients with deferred routine care
