Inside Health 12/5/20 – changes to GP types of consultation

some links – basically what we do in a pandemic -because of risk of leaving the house – can’t really be compared to ‘normal’ or ‘best quality’ care. some video can be useful, phone even more useful (but we are doing that already) and we don’t know what negative impacts might result from thinking we can do mostly everything online. but there might be some people who v much prefer it.
