Sue on a Telehealth appointment
We are able to consult with non-symptomatic patients face-to-face. Our priority is to look after the health of our patients and staff, so we will continue to offer Telehealth online consultations for those who are unwell and still want urgent treatment, for those who just wish to ‘socially distance’ or those patients who are in rural or regional Queensland or elsewhere in Australia. Group exercise classes will continue to be carried out by video link. Patients have been very happy to engage with the classes in their own home or work place and if they cannot attend at the time the class is being held, they email reception for the recording to be sent.
You can book one-on-one, live, ‘TELEHEALTH’ consultations by calling reception. Our reception is open as usual between 7.30 am to 3.30 pm week days. You can always leave a message or text us with any queries.
Our ‘TELEHEALTH’ consultations involve talking to each other via a live video feed on your computer. If you don’t use a computer, we can still talk with you on your phone – something we have been doing for years with patients who are unable to visit us through distance or incapacity. Our reception staff will guide you on the best way for our physiotherapist to consult with you.
To initiate the ‘TELEHEALTH’ consultation, we simply send you a link with your appointment confirmation and reminder emails. At the time of your appointment, you click on your email link and we see each other. We ask you to be ready 15 minutes before your appointment to be prepared. Again, our reception staff will assist you prior to the meeting if you need assistance.
We ask in preparation for your appointment that you update your devices and load Google Chrome onto your Laptop, tablet, iPad or iPhone. Google Chrome App Download or the App Store. The Chrome Browser is considered optimal for these video meetings.
We also run group classes, live, online here.
