Why Use This Function:

Telemed is designed to enable face-to-face communication between Practitioners and Patients, regardless of their locations. It offers a convenient and cost-effective alternative to phone consultations, making it a popular budget-friendly choice for both Practices and Patients.

Patients can book a Telemed consultation either by phoning the Practice or through the myGC app. Detailed instructions for booking via the app can be found in the user manual: How to Make Bookings Once Logged In.
