Nottingham University Hospitals Pioneers Innovative Virtual Clinics in Partnership with Macmillan, Involve 10 December 2018
- Nottingham University Hospitals NHS Trust and Macmillan Cancer Support have piloted a new service that offers patients with brain metastases the option to have their consultation from home via video.
- Virtual Clinic was trialled as part of efforts to help improve care for patients with brain tumours across the East Midlands. After booking an appointment via an online booking system, patients receive a link that enables them to connect to a video meeting with their clinician at the scheduled time.
- Over a seven-month period, 37% of appointments in the brain metastases unit were held via Virtual Clinic.
