Video Group Clinics

The NCL Training Hub is delighted to announce a further training session to equip practice staff with the skills need to run Video Group Consultations with your patient groups.

“Why implement video group clinics?”

Combining group consultation and video clinics aims to build a sense of community and facilitate peer support, while enabling health and care teams to stay connected in supporting those with long term conditions, who are in need of regular reviews and are vulnerable to infection. Use VGCs to help you manage your current workload and regain control.
