Safe Prescribing Episode 2: Prescribing by telehealth and narrow-scope clinics
The Medical Protection New Zealand podcastShow Notes
Most doctors provide some form of telehealth since COVID. However as a result of the Government policy and funding of telehealth clinics, along with the rise in the number of narrow purpose clinics (weight loss, cannabis etc) there is increasing use of telehealth services. There are inherent risks for clinicians seeing patients by telehealth.
This episode discusses these risks and how to keep your patients and yourselves safe.
