Making an appointment
When
a specialist refers a child to the Telehealth Programme,
the Telehealth Programme Manager will contact the specialist
and the patient as to the details of the appointment, the
time of the consultation and the directions to the Telehealth
facility.

What
is an appointment like?
-
The Telehealth Programme Manager will greet your family
and will be available during the clinic visit.
-
The appointment is just like a regular check-up, except
the doctor and health care team from The Sick Kids
Hospital will be on a television screen. The doctors
may need your child to undress; however undressing
will be done away from the cameras, unless this process
is of clinical significance.
-
An
appointment may take up to half an hour.
-
The Telehealth Programme Manager will help the doctor
with the check-up during the appointment. Please talk
to the Telehealth Programme Manager if you have any
questions.
-
Patients
must arrive 20 minutes before their appointment to
register their child. This will allow him/her time
to become familiar with the Telehealth Programme manager,
room and equipment.
-
Staff
will try to see you at your appointment time, but
sometimes there will be delays.
-
You
will be asked to sign a consent form for the Telehealth
Consultation before the visit begins.
-
The
Telehealth Programme Manager will work with your doctor
to arrange any follow-up care your child may need.
