Abstract

In this BJGP Open special issue, we explore how increased reliance on telehealth has changed clinical practice. Telehealth, defined as the provision of healthcare remotely through telecommunications technology, has been integrated into health services with varying degrees of success in the past. The COVID-19 pandemic has accelerated this process, with telehealth presenting a solution to care delivery during national lockdowns and social distancing requirements. There has been vast amounts of research examining what has worked, potential improvements, and what should be retained in the post-pandemic world. This collection of articles adds to the discourse and considers telehealth in three broad areas: access to services, quality of care, and conducting consultations.
