Beginning in 2020, our goal at Consultdoc has been to narrow the gap between patients and superior primary care physicians. The effects of receiving the correct information from the right specialist are transformative; when patients cannot find out what they are going to do about their breathing problems, continuous coughing or chest problems, they are not only annoyed but could be destroying themselves. Thus we provide patients with fast, informed advice by linking them with a trusted Online respiratory doctor UK
Why Virtual Respiratory Consults Are Effective
As you can imagine or know, having lung difficulties or trouble breathing may be unsettling for you. Our goal is to provide you with a prompt assessment of your situation as well as appropriate direction about what will happen next if any treatment is needed. When you request an on-line consult with a physician through our office, the physician you speak to is not merely an “all-purpose” family physician; rather, he/she has specialised training and is therefore experienced in diagnosing common respiratory problems and determining what may be happening to you (e.g., whether your symptoms are due to a common viral infection, allergy or require emergency hospital care). Those patients requiring further specialised follow-up can also be assisted by our staff to request to see a Private Respiratory Consultant in Birmingham, or another location, for continuity of care.
Actual Case Study
A new patient came into our Manchester office recently with a dry cough that wouldn’t go away. She wasn’t sure if she should go to A&E as her symptoms were severe.
We conducted a complete assessment of her symptoms and medical history via video consultation with one of our online doctors. After evaluating her symptoms it was concluded that the cause of her cough was due to post-viral viral infection. A treatment plan of inhalers was put in place to manage the symptoms of cough.
Thanks to his use of our online doctor service, she was able to avoid an expensive visit to A&E, and experienced significant improvement within 72 hours of consultation.
When you see one of our doctors online:
• In most cases, you’ll see the doctor the same day as you made the appointment, which eliminates waiting time compared to seeing the NHS.
• All of our doctors are fully registered with General Medical Council (GMC) and have significant experience and an enhanced level of knowledge regarding the management of acute respiratory illnesses.
• At the end of your consultation, you will receive clear and specific action items. For example, you may receive a drug order, a sick note or a referral.
