EDITORS COMMENT EDITORS COMMENT “The pandemic has dramatically changed our practice. One such change has been a shift toward remote consultations which is, at least in part, here to stay.” The incredible success of the COVID 19 vaccination has given us all hope. Although most would agree this virus, like almost all others, will likely never be fully eradicated, the success of the vaccination programme has meant a greater degree of freedom as we gradually exit from lockdown. COVID 19 has not only affected the lives of our patients’ both physical and psychological wellbeing over the past sixteen months but the collateral damage it has inflicted will likely be experienced for years to come. The measure of the true impact of this is yet to be fully appreciated but given the reduction in access to healthcare, it is inevitable that the delay in diagnosis and treatment is resulting in increased morbidity and mortality for many patients particularly the elderly and those with chronic conditions. The pandemic has dramatically changed our practice. One such change has been a shift toward remote consultations which is, at least in part, here to stay. This does not only have the potential to improve the financial efficiency of our services but also many patients prefer this to face to face consultation given the cost and inconvenience of travel. Its success will however depend on being able to identify the group of patients for whom remote consultation is appropriate and optimal as well as addressing digital literacy issues particularly in the elderly.
