Video consultations at George Eliot Hospital

Here at George Eliot Hospital NHS Trust we are working with NHS England and Improvement to ensure that as a Trust we support as many patient appointments as possible using a multitude of methods, other than just face to face.

As an alternative way to consult with you, we are now offering Video consultation appointments that you can attend from any other appropriate location such as home. The aim is also to reduce your travel, time and the associated expense, whilst making it easier for you to ‘stay home and stay safe’.

We are introducing this service gradually over the next few weeks. Services are offered below.
