What you will need
- A comfortable, private setting – a quiet place where you won’t be overheard or disturbed, and have minimal distractions
- The phone for the number you nominated when your appointment was booked
- Preferably use hands-free via headphones, or speakerphone if being overheard is not of concern (to avoid having to hold the phone to your ear)
- If using a mobile or cordless phone, the battery charged
How to prepare for your telehealth session
- Before your appointment time, have your private setting ready for the session
- Get comfortable
- Your Clinician will call you for your session
At the end of your telehealth session
Just hang up your phone
Privacy
To ensure your privacy with a telehealth session:
- Your Clinician will call you from a private number
- Your Clinician will want to make sure they are actually speaking to you before they say where they’re calling from
- By your Clinician calling you, the call won’t appear on your phone bill
