- Abstract
Virtual clinics were introduced at Surrey and Sussex Healthcare NHS Trust in 2019 as an innovative way to improve access to care for patients. During the COVID-19 pandemic, these clinics have been key to the delivery of care to patients. This article discusses the applications and patient reported outcomes of the use of teledentistry before the COVID-19 pandemic, examines the applications of virtual clinics during the COVID-19 pandemic, and considers the role of teledentistry in routine care and patient management during the COVID-19 recovery phase. Applications in teaching are also considered along with limitations and considerations for setting up teledentistry services. Is 'healing at a distance' a viable solution? We investigate the benefits and limitations of virtual clinics in managing young patients.
