Video Group Clinics Bringing Benefits For Both Clinicians & Patients

Video Group Clinics are helping GPs, practice nurses, social prescribers and other allied health professionals to deliver person centred care and support. And when patients join the online session they discover a sense of empowerment from interacting with others with the same health concerns, as well as getting the individual help and support they need from the GP or nurse.

VGCs last about an hour and patients get to decide what the group talk about, and they get answers to all their questions and niggling concerns,

People tell us they really enjoy VGCs. They enjoy hearing from other people in a similar situation and having longer to talk about their worries. They say they enjoy sharing their concerns, what has worked for them and what doesn’t, but importantly they also feel encouraged by hearing from other people’s success, and these discussions motivates them to manage their own health issues and outcomes. So many patients report feeling a real sense of belonging in their VGC sessions, and that they are no longer alone in trying to manage their condition – such as asthma, diabetes or depression.

Clinicians tell us they enjoy them too, because they get to know patients even better and repeat themselves less, which leaves more time to answer patients’ questions and concerns.
