Video Group Clinics – Prepare. Deliver. Follow Up

Video Group Clinics are a transformative way of delivering planned care and supporting people to take control and manage their health issues. They work especially well for people who live with long term conditions like diabetes, COPD, asthma and Long Covid – conditions that account for the bulk of primary care’s chronic disease management workload.

VGCs offer:

Significant clinician time savings: Clinicians report that clinical reviews in VGCs take around 5 minutes per patient compared to 15-25 minutes when delivered one to one.

Improved experience of care: clinicians report that group clinics restore joy to both remote and face to face consultations. They energise them because they are less transactional, and more patient-centric and relationship based.

Sustainable delivery of personalised care: the group clinic process mirrors care and support planning because patients see their results and decide their questions before the clinician joins. Then after their consultation with the clinician, they are supported to set goals.
