After-hours telehealth is an excellent option for accessing healthcare outside regular office hours. Whether it’s late in the evening, on a weekend, or during a public holiday, telehealth provides a convenient way to get medical advice or treatment without the need to wait for your regular GP. Here are some situations when after-hours telehealth can be particularly helpful:- Minor but urgent needs: After-hours telehealth provides rapid and accessible care for concerns such as acute flu symptoms, minor wounds, or infections that require immediate attention but are not life-threatening.
- Medical advice and prescriptions: If you want medical advice or a prescription refill but cannot wait for your usual GP, telehealth can help.
- Non-critical support: After-hours consultations are suitable for promptly addressing non-urgent issues such as medical certifications, laboratory requests, and radiology referrals.
- Convenience: After-hours services are ideal for health issues that emerge while your GP is unavailable, such as in the evenings, on weekends, or on public holidays.
- Avoiding long waits: For less urgent situations, after-hours telehealth might be a faster option than attending the emergency department, where critical patients are prioritised.
