abstract: 'The COVID-19 pandemic mandated a substantial switch in primary health

  care delivery from an in-person to a mainly remote telephone or video

  service. As the COVID-19 pandemic approaches its third year, limited

  progress appears to have been made in terms of policy development around

  consultation methods for the post-acute phase of the pandemic. In

  September 2020, the International Primary Care Respiratory Group

  convened a global panel of primary care clinicians - including family

  physicians, paediatricians, pharmacists, academics and patients - to

  consider the policy and health management implications of the move to

  remote consultations in the primary care setting. The group gave special

  consideration to how and how far remote consultations should be

  integrated into routine primary health care delivery. Remote

  consultations can be a useful alternative to in-person consultations in

  primary care not only in situations where there is a need for viral

  infection control but also for the routine delivery of chronic disease

  management. However, they may not be more time efficient for the

  clinician, and they can add to the workload and work-related stress for

  primary care practitioners if they remain the dominant consultation

  mode. Remote consultations are also less appropriate than in-person

  consultations for new disease diagnosis, dealing with multiple issues

  and providing complex care. Ensuring health care professionals have the

  appropriate skill set to effectively deliver remote consultations,

  administrative and/or IT support and appropriate reimbursement will be

  key to achieving optimal integration of remote consultations into

  routine clinical practice. Addressing digital access and digital

  literacy issues at a societal level will also be essential to ensure

  individuals have fair and equitable access to the internet and

  sufficient security for exchange of personal and health-related data.'
