How do I have a useful telephone or video appointment?

The aim of this webinar is to explore what is involved with a remote appointment, and provide tips to help you prepare and feel confident and efficient when discussing your issues, health care matters and care on the phone or on a video call.

13 July 2022

Do you find conversations on the phone with your doctor or consultant can be nerve-racking, ensuring that you’ve asked every question or are you trying to remember everything that was discussed from your remote medical appointment?

Join us on Wednesday 13th July for our webinar where we discuss what a remote medical appointment entails and provide tips to help you prepare and feel confident when talking about your health on the phone or via video call.

What questions and advice will be covered? 
Due to the high number of attendees, we are not always able to answer each individual’s question, however, we aim to explore a large variety of topics such as:

  • What is important to note down ahead of the appointment
  • The types of questions you should ask
  • How you can keep focused on your health issues that you’d like to discuss
  • Time to reflect after your remote appointment

We will be joined by:

  • Lianne Palmer, CLL Specialist Nurse, Oxford Cancer and Haematology Centre at Churchill Hospital
  • Phyllis Paterson, BMF/MPN/CML Clinical Nurse Specialist, Addenbrookes NHS Trust
