How to prepare for your Telehealth appointments
-
Call (02) 4971 4044 to book an appointment as usual with your preferred doctor.
-
Reception will take your details and email you our “telehealth consent” form.
-
Once you have read this you can email back to state you consent to telehealth.
-
If you are using a smartphone – you will be asked to download the app “Zoom”, the free web-based video conferencing application – and create a free account with Zoom. We suggest doing this anyway to stream line the process if required.
-
If you are using a computer with video capability and microphone/speakers, you need to be able to access email. You can visit www.zoom.us to create an account before your appointment.
-
Using your phone or computer on broadband internet will work better than your phones’ roaming internet – either way you will need internet capabilities to use telehealth.
-
You will be sent an email from the practice at the time of your appointment – with an invite to join the “meeting”.
