Your online consultation

You have chosen to have an online consultation.

An online consultation is a video call between you and your clinician using the internet and a laptop, computer, tablet or mobile phone.

• The device you use will need to have to have a camera, speakers and microphone.
• A private well-lit area, where you will not be disturbed.
• A good connection to the internet (if you can watch a video on your device you will be able to make a video call).
• To avoid being charged for using mobile data, please try to use your device with your home Wi-Fi network.
