Virtual Mental Health Care
Virtual Mental Health Care simply means consultations/appointments being delivered over video.
Virtual Care is the same care delivered remotely and is not replacing face-to-face by any means - it is just another option consumers can choose if it suits them. In fact, most consumers have told us that Virtual is ‘About the same’ as an in-person appointment.
People who have challenges in travelling or finding time for appointments are finding Virtual particularly helpful. There are also those who prefer to remain in the comfort of their own home.
