Patient appointments
- A Telemedicine coordinator will be available for support during the clinic visit.
- The appointment is just like a regular check-up, except the doctor and health care team members are on a television screen. The doctors may need you child to undress, however a gown and private change area away from the cameras will be available.
- If your child has not seen the doctor at SickKids before, your appointment may take up to one hour.
- The Telemedicine coordinator helps the doctor with the check-up during the appointment. Please speak with the coordinator if you have any questions.
- Arrive 20 minutes before your appointment to register your child. This allows him/her to become familiar with the coordinator, room and equipment.
- Staff will try to see you at your appointment time, but sometimes there maybe delays.
- You will be asked to sign a consent form for the telemedicine clinic before the visit begins.
- Your physician will determine if follow-up care is required for your child.
- All patient information is private and confidential. To learn more about how the hospital protects the privacy of your information, call our Privacy Information Line at 416-813-7474, or e-mail us at privacy.office@sickkids.ca
