	Covid: Millions of patient miles 'saved' during pandemic Virtual appointments have เล่นสล็อต dramatically reduced hospital outpatient journeys during the coronavirus pandemic. Northumbria Healthcare NHS Trust said its patients travelled more than two million fewer miles between April last year and January. Patients in Cumbria said virtual appointments saved time, expense and the need to take someone to help. Staff found they could also be useful from a medical perspective, North Cumbria Integrated Care NHS Trust said. "NHS colleagues have also noticed the benefits, including our physiotherapy team who are able to see the patient's home and any obstacles that may be affecting them, where ordinarily the patient would have to describe this," a spokesperson said. In January 2020 NHS England announced plans to use technology "to make up to 30 million outpatient appointments redundant, sparing patients thousands of unnecessary trips to and from hospital".
