Virtually the same, but remotely different: health professionals, parents and children’s experiences of remote out-patient consultations
Overall, remote consultations were viewed positively, bringing benefits to children, young people and parents. There was a notable transition in responsibility towards children and young people and/or their parents for reporting and recognizing disease flare, compared with face-to-face consultations. Optimizing the experience of remote consultations though better preparation, information and education for children, young people, parents and health professionals is needed.
