Enhanced Advice & Guidance
Our Enhanced Advice & Guidance service consists of Telephone Advice & Guidance, Photo Messaging Advice & Guidance, and Email Advice & Guidance as well as Referral Triage for areas with high backlogs. All services are supported by the National Consultant Network when required.
National Consultant Network (NCN)
The National Consultant Network comprises out-of-area NHS consultants who can answer pre-referral Advice & Guidance calls or review photos. The consultants can act as a backup for local teams and provide locally unavailable specialties.
Referral Triage
A triage service for hospital trusts needing additional temporary capacity for referrals. The service uses the expertise of the NHS consultants from our National Consultant Network (NCN) and is available to work through backlogs in bulk or back-up local clinicians (for backlogs and/or new referrals as they come in).
Telemedicine Devices
State-of-the-art virtual care devices allow NHS specialists to be fully available in the care of patients, without having to be physically at the bed side.
Patient Initiated Follow Up (PIFU)
A follow-up service that enables patients to initiate an IG secure virtual consultation with a specialist clinician. All data and call recordings are available via the Consultant Connect platform.
Virtual Consultations (Patient Connect)
Clinicians use Patient Connect to deliver IG secure virtual consultations. All data and call recordings are available via the Consultant Connect platform.
Digital Mental Health Services
Help patients with a range of mental wellness challenges. Since January 2021, Consultant Connect has been part of the Teladoc Group – the global leader in whole-person virtual care. The Teladoc myStrength platform, which offers full-spectrum digital mental health, is available to NHS areas.
