Benefits of telehealth
Your child’s environment
Having an online rural telehealth appointment with a Paediatric Gastroenterologist means your child remains in their home environment. There’s no need to travel or sit in waiting rooms, which is ideal for busy parents, and your child won’t feel it’s a ‘huge deal’.
Regional visiting specialists
After your initial rural telehealth appointment, your child may need to see a specialist in person to run some diagnostic tests. We often have specialists visiting regional areas, so we’ll help you find the best solution to work for you and your child.
Easy-to-use software
To access your online telehealth appointment with your Paediatric Gastroenterologist, you need a computer, smartphone or tablet with an inbuilt camera, reliable internet and a microphone. We use the Doxy.me software that requires no downloading from you.
