Well known media commentator and respected GP Dr Sally Cockburn will be deep diving into various GP-relevant clinical topics with guest panellists to address “stuff they didn’t teach you in medical school”. December's Alt-Wednesday webinar topic is Medical Community Virtual Consult (MCVC) service. Covid Lockdown meant new ways of virtually interacting with patients entered mainstream medical practice. In appropriate situations telehealth continues today. However, what else can this technology offer the future of general practice? Have you ever wished you could get quick access to a specialist for assistance with a complex patient? Rather than the patient waiting for a long off outpatient appointment what if you could get live advice on management? Well, such a service now exists here in Melbourne. Following on from the success of the Virtual Emergency Department service at Northern Health, Dr David Langford founded and trialed the “Medical Community Virtual Consult” service (MCVC) during Covid Pandemic and now it’s an ongoing concern. The aim of the MCVC is to foster reliable communication between primary care and medical specialists. GPs can book live telehealth appointments to discuss complex patients with a specialist team. Although the MCVC is a Northern Health initiative it is open to GPs from all over Victoria. Join Dr Sally Cockburn and expert guest, Dr Vinita Rane, Medical Lead for MCVC to hear how we might utilise the service and what the future might hold.
