A NEW “online hospital” being rolled out next year will enable patients to speak to specialists about issues such as prostate problems, the menopause and eyesight.
-
Following referral from their GP, patients will be able to use the NHS app for a video consultation with doctors around the country. Sir Keir Starmer announced the move last year, saying a “new world is coming”.
The first conditions managed by the service have been announced by NHS England. They include women’s health issues such as severe menopausal symptoms and symptoms of endometriosis or fibroids.
