About
I can appreciate that during the Covid-19 pandemic patients may not want to visit hospital. In line with national guidance and the major health insurers, I am offering telemedicine video consultations to patients with hand, wrist and elbow conditions. Accepting the limitations of video consultations, I can help to alleviate anxiety regarding the condition and can advise a management plan taking into consideration the evolving situation.
