TELEHEALTH PATIENT PREPARATION EMAIL:

​

Dear

 

In preparation for our session, I have attached a consent form for telehealth - could you please read it before your session? I will ask for verbal consent when we meet.

 

The following may also be helpful:

 

1. have your session in a quiet place where you won't be interrupted

2. use headphones (the set you get with your mobile phone is fine)

3. have some water or a hot drink, and tissues just as we would in my office

4. a device with a full battery and/or charger

5. (if your home has a lot of people using the wifi, it may be helpful to ask them not to be using it for the duration of the session.)

 

This is the link for the session (if you click on it will take you to the meeting)

 

If you haven't used Zoom before, the instructions are as follows:

 

How to use Zoom:

 

1.     Go to the Zoom website

2.     Download the Zoom platform for your device – mac or PC (if you want to use your mobile, go to Google play and download the app from there)

3. At the time of the meeting, click on the Join URL in this email and it should open in the Zoom app

4. Join the meeting

5.     If you use headphones with speaker function (e.g. the ones that come with a mobile phone) it will be clearer

 

if it doesn't work

1.     Go to the Zoom website and click ‘join a meeting’ on the top bar.

2.     Copy and paste the url in this email to start the session.

 

Please call if you have any questions.
