On Monday 20th April we will continue our series of weekly #physiotalk tweetchats looking at different aspects of how the COVID19 pandemic is affecting physiotherapists and physiotherapy.
On Monday at 8pm BST we will be looking at remote consultations – the what, why, how of doing a remote consultation. Of course some physiotherapists might have been using remote consultations for years, especially in the more rural areas, but for most of us, moving overnight to a new way of working has been a challenge.

There has been a great deal of support from @theCSP in supporting members to develop and use these solutions – take a look at their webpages here. On Monday night we will be looking to get your experiences and shared knowledge about using different tools and options.
