Virtual Approaches
Joint Review model i.e. a consultant attends a GP practice to discuss challenging or complex cases identified by the practice Examples1 & 2
Advice Service model i.e. GP seeks specialist opinion through letter, email or telephone Example 3
Secondary Care led Review model i.e. specialist analyses notes of patients on waiting list/new referrals to expedite decision making Examples 4 and 5
What should a consultant do - consult more, see less of everything slowly, and more of some things quickly?
