COVID-19, remote consultations and the future of doctor-patient interaction

19 January 2021 12:00 – 13:00 CET

Tuesday 19 Janaury 2021 from 12:00-13:00 CET

The COVID-19 pandemic saw a rapid rise in the use of remote consultations by telephone and video link. Remote consultations have proved important as a way of supporting non-severe COVID-19 patients, reducing pressure on inpatient care, and maintaining access to routine services. What can we learn from the rapid scale up of remote consultations in the first wave? What is the future for remote consultations after the pandemic? And how might the development of remote consultation infrastructure build greater surge capacity into systems to help protect from future shocks? Join us in this webinar to learn more about the increase in remote consultations and the future of doctor-patient interaction.

This webinar is part of a series of webinars which draws lessons from country experiences based on the COVID-19 Health System Response Monitor (HSRM) - a joint undertaking with the WHO Regional Office for Europe, the European Commission and the European Observatory. The COVID-19 HSRM builds on the expertise of the Health Systems and Policy Monitor network and the WHO Country Offices and the knowledge and work of colleagues in the Regional Office and DG SANTE who are dealing with the pandemic and supporting countries. The webinar series is indebted to them all.
