[QUOTE="In Response, post: 2426709, member: 527103"] Obviously some appointments need to be in person but not as many as pre pandemic. Doctors surgeries and hospitals are, by their nature, full of unwell people with the potential to pass on their conditions to other around them, not just covid-19 but also flu, colds, D&V etc. So minimising the number of people they come in contact with is a good thing. Supermarkets are still open but less people are going. My 80 year old parents had never had a supermarket delivery or click and collect a year ago but now they say they will never go back. I wonder if we had a choice of face to face or telephone appointments, what the split would be. As I mentioned, telephone appointments are much better for me and, for me, much more time efficient. As I work a lot on the phone, I have no problem with talking to HCPs remotely, but understand some people will find this difficult. [/QUOTE]
