New telehealth carts gives access to specialist and medical appointments from hometown
allowing local residents to consult with specialists virtually in Edenhope
Accessing specialists in Ballarat, Melbourne, Bendigo and Geelong has become even easier for Edenhope residents thanks to new equipment at Grampians Health.
Grampians Health has purchased new telehealth carts allowing local residents to consult with specialists virtually in Edenhope from the Health and Wellbeing Hub, saving hours in travel time.
Regional Director of Hospitals-West Carolyn Robertson said telehealth was safe and easy to use and less disruptive to your day-to-day life.
“During the COVID pandemic, Grampians Health experienced an increase in telehealth services, as residents were able to maintain their health online,” Ms Robertson said.
“Offering patients easier access to GPs, specialists, mental health and allied health professionals means improved health outcomes.
“We’re extremely pleased to assist more local residents and those who don’t have internet or devices at home to access virtual appointments through the new telehealth carts. Nurses are also available to help set up the virtual appointment.”
