Should the doctor find the video consultation to be unsuitable or insufficient to provide safe clinical management, you may be required to see the doctor in the clinic.
Some medications are not suitable for delivery and may require in-person collection from SingHealth Polyclinics Pharmacy.
There may be uncommon risks or limitations of a video consultation not referred to in this form, or risks that are applicable to you specifically due to individual patient risk factors. Please ask your clinical care team member for more information before the video consultation.
