A number of my GP Colleagues have been asking me about using Telemedicine Platforms to deliver care given the current crisis.
One mentioned was Doxy.me
Unfortunately, I have no experience with them or others.
Any advice on setup and services - specifically for GP/Community clinics? Or point me in the right direction.
Thank you
Andrew Miller from NDHB was saying today that they have had a look at this and says he wants it.
Hi @JonoH
There are several options and the NZ Telehealth group are doing some work in this space. Maybe have a look at their webpage. Several patients portals have video consult facilities, and there is also zoom, Skype (although that’s a pain to use). Several DHBs have a licence for zoom, but there is also a free option. NZePS enables electronic prescribing. Some clear guidance will be released soon by the NZTLG, @Ruth_Large is the person to contact. Also @Lucyw for DHB info.
Great question @JonoH and Inga has given you some pointers. The NZTLG are working on updating our Provider and patient advice in this area. We hope to have this up over the weekend. Here’s our website https://www.telehealth.org.nz/
Things are changing rapidly and we will be looking to keep the website updated and linked to the covid response page in the MOH.
Another useful link

Wants what? Telehealth in general??? Don’t you guys have zoom up and running now?
We are standing up Cisco jabber as per our business case that got shelved post SH.
Ah the irony…
Hi Ruth - I am really sorry but I don’t now what I was responding to with this to be honest! Please excuse me to many things going on I may have hit the button before I meant to but cannot remember what I was meaning now! LOL
I’m so pleased I’m not the only one who does that @jenp. Good to know I’m in such good company 
Hi all,
This might be worth dialing in to, or at the very least watch the recording:
We are using mangemyhealth as it is linked to our PMS. There are some UI things to improve, but happy with it.
Don’t forget www.telehealth.org
For NZ specific advise
hi Ruth. I’d like to update this page:
https://www.telehealth.org.nz/map/waikato-teledermatology/
NZ private dermatologists are using doxy.me. I’ve taken a look at it and I like it: easy to use with clear instructions, no personal health information recorded
Telehealth 2025 or is that now ? Article from Linkedinn
Telehealth 2025
@grahame.jelley I think this is where medicine is heading - and so much potential to help people who currently have significant access issues
