Connect Issue 20

In the latest issue of Connect, our magazine for Avant members, we focus on how effective communication with patients can help avoid issues when managing unrealistic expectations or requests you can’t meet.

Our cover story profiles a GP member talking about the positive impacts that digital health solutions are starting to have in remote communities. We also cover three recent cases where doctors were under scrutiny for handling of the consent process, following up on a referral and decisions made based on a telehealth consultation.
