What do people have to say about remote service delivery?

A spotlight session was delivered at the Virtual Physiotherapy UK conference to report on the survey and the rapid review. Throughout the presentation, members were asked to give feedback through Menti about the advantages and challenges associated with providing remote consultations. These were collected and representative quotes were extracted. The examples provided below offer a snapshot of members’ experiences of remote consultations.
