In this first seminar of autumn 2021, we are delighted to welcome Anthony Gilbert and John Bateson from the Royal National Orthopaedic Hospital NHS Trust, who will discuss the rapid implementation of virtual clinics due to Covid-19.

Rapid implementation of virtual clinics due to Covid-19

The Royal National Orthopaedic Hospital implemented virtual clinics at pace during the early stages of the Covid-19 pandemic in 2020.

In this presentation, Anthony and John will outline the steps taken to conduct this quality improvement project, their reflections on the challenges and success factors, and the outcomes of the project. 

They will also share their thoughts on conducting quality improvement projects within the NHS, and the implications for the Royal National Orthopaedic Hospital.
