– When telehealth is (or is not) appropriate and the practical aspects of implementation
– Where they source advice on platforms, technology and digital capabilities
– How they communicate with patients, manage consent and address concerns about data safety and security
– Recent telehealth developments within and across allied health professions and between disciplines
– The current legislative environment, evolving best practices, future possibilities and unresolved issues.
