Background: Telemedicine allows delivery of healthcare to occur between parties that are not in the same location. As telemedicine users are not co-present, effective communication methods are crucial to the delivery and reception of information. The aim of this study was to explore perspectives of general practitioners (GPs) and patients on the interactional components of telemedicine consultations.

Background: Despite its well-known benefits for patients, achieving proficiency in MIS can be challenging for surgeons due to many factors including altered visual perspectives and fulcrum effects in instrument handling. Research on these and other sensorimotor challenges has been hindered by imprecise terminology and the lack of a unified theoretical framework to guide research questions in the field.
Background: The unprecedented increase in telehealth use due to COVID-19 has changed general practitioners' (GP) and patients' engagement in healthcare. There is limited specific advice for effective communication when using telehealth. Examining telehealth use in practice in conjunction with perspectives on telehealth as they relate to communication allows opportunities to produce evidence-based guidance for optimal use of telehealth, while also offering practitioners the opportunity to reflect on elements of their communicative practice common to both styles of consultation.

- There has been an increase in people from Northern Ireland getting weight loss surgery in other countries since the Covid-19 pandemic started.
- A study looked at how many patients had this surgery, how well they were monitored afterward, and any health problems they faced.
- Out of the patients who got surgery, most were women, and many did not get the right follow-up care, like checking their vitamin levels.
Objectives: This study explores patient perspectives (ideas, concerns, and expectations) in surgeon-patient consultations.
Methods: We examined 54 video-recorded consultations using applied conversation analysis. Consultations took place from 2012 to 2017 in an Australian metropolitan hospital clinic centre and involved seven surgeons across six specialties.
