Further Advice for Video / Telephone Consultations:

·      When you join the meeting for your Video Consultation please ensure you turn video and audio on (bottom left corner) so you can be seen and heard.

·      If you experience any problems at the start of your Video Consultation, the Physiotherapist will contact immediately by telephone to try to remedy the issue.

·      It is advisable for you to place your camera in a static position and where you can be seen when performing movements.

·      Dress appropriately for the Video Consultation– consider wearing shorts for a leg problem, and a vest for a back / shoulder problem for example.

·      The Video Consultations will typically last 30 minutes, and a Telephone Consultations 15 minutes, but this will be dependent on your symptoms.

·       All Video / Telephone Consultations are secure and confidential.

·       Video / Telephone Consultations are approved by NHS (Derbyshire GP practices), One Heath Group, BUPA, AXA PPP, Westfield, Nuffield, Vitality and many other private medical insurance providers. Please contact us to confirm whether your treatment is covered.

·       If you are paying privately for your Video / Telephone Consultation, payment can betaken by our reception staff prior to your consultation, or the Physiotherapist will take secure card payment at the end of your Video / Telephone Consultation.
