Webinar: Virtual Consultations
- Free
Event Overview
Virtual consultations, between surgeons and patients, were used in several surgical specialties prior to COVID-19. Since the outbreak began however, it has played a particularly crucial role which is likely to continue in the post COVID-19 era and in future pandemic planning.
If you’re interested in finding out exactly what benefits virtual consultations can have and when they might be appropriate join us on Thursday 15 October for our new RCS webinar.
Consultant Neurosurgeon and Honorary Senior Lecturer at NHS Grampian Pragnesh Bhatt and RCS Council member and Urologist Jonathan Glass will be addressing all of the complications which may arise during virtual consultations and answering any questions you might have.
