Table 5 Free text suggestions from clinicians
| Suggestions |
| Lack of visual feedback |
| Visual consultations would be a great improvement and improve quality of consultation |
| Video software that will also allow sharing of clinicians’ screen would be more informative as imaging can be shown |
| Workload |
| Dedicated administrator for telephone consultation preparation would be useful |
| Lack of examination |
| Difficult to examine patients. Often reliant on family or patient’s own interpretation of examination |
| Could be limited to follow ups only |
| Difficult to build rapport or trust |
