A virtual consultation with a VEMSA senior emergency doctor can help you by:

  • Answering questions about your current medications
  • Managing any side effects of your medications
  • Providing a repeat prescription (where authorised) if you’ve run out before you can see your usual doctor
  • Providing a medication prescription to treat a new health concern
  • Providing a medical certificate to support short-term sick leave from work or school

VEMSA is designed for collaboration and to fit in seamlessly with your healthcare team, providing a safety net and emergency medicine specialist oversight when your usual doctor is unavailable or needs to escalate your care. This means the clinical notes from your virtual consultation can be communicated to your usual treating doctor, including any adjustments made to your medications or treatments given to manage drug side effects. Keeping all involved clinicians informed and updated about your care improves efficiency, quality of care, and your safety.
