In just a few months, modern healthcare has experienced a profound disruption across the globe. Whilst there is a desire to get ‘back to normal,’ a number of aspects of how healthcare historically operated, have left us vulnerable to the impact of COVID-19 and in need of critical change. As we continue to adapt to the new normal, we have developed a series of critical conversations designed to explore the opportunities that exist within our healthcare system and identify how we might achieve greater integration across the healthcare sector by combining virtual capability with face-to-face care.

There is no question that we’ve seen a rapid acceleration of Australia’s virtual care capacity as a result of the COVID-19 global pandemic. However, there are a myriad of questions relating to the role of virtual health in Australia and how we ensure that the capability meets the ultimate aspiration for this model in the future. 

Join our expert panel as we explore fundamental considerations including: 

• What the path from telehealth to virtual care looks like and how we best navigate it
• The pace we need to deliver scale and value to ensure it remains viable
• How we increase value through a hybrid virtual care model
• Whether we are ready for this hybrid care model and if everyone, from clinicians to patients, actually want it.y
