Request a video consultation
Ask your Peter Mac team about telehealth.
- Please ask at your next appointment with your Peter Mac doctor, Patient Navigator, or nurse (or call them beforehand) if you would like a consultation by video
- We will talk to you about getting bloods or imaging done locally beforehand if this is needed
- Sometimes a video consultation at home is fine. At other times it is best with your GP, Practice Nurse, Oncologist or Cancer Resource Nurse. If you prefer one of these specialists to be included in your future virtual appointment with us, please tell your Patient Navigator in advance. Your treating team will work out the best option for you
- If it is suitable, you will get an appointment letter that includes instructions
