Nursing Standard 2024 May 20
There has been a rapid increase in remote patient consultations, including remote prescribing - partly in response to the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic, but also as part of the move towards a 'digital first' NHS. There are various benefits associated with remote prescribing, such as convenience for patients and judicious use of healthcare resources.
