Attend Anywhere
If you have been advised that your out-patient clinic appointment will be conducted using Attend Anywhere then you will receive a text message containing a web-link alongside the date and time of the planned consultation. The link can only be used for this clinic visit.
At the appropriate time you should use the web-link to take you to a virtual waiting room called "Children's Kidney Centre". You will be asked to enter a few details (name, date of birth and a contact telephone number) before you can join the call. These details are only used to allow your doctor to identify the patient they are joining.
After the video call, these details will be deleted. Your doctor will be alerted that you are waiting to be seen and will join you when the prior consultation is completed. It is possible for you to bring other people into the call and it maybe that your doctor will be joined by other members of the medical team.
No one is permitted to record the call and everyone attending the consultation with you will be introduced.Please make sure your laptop, tablet or phone has the newest Google Chrome or Safari software. Please see the table below for how to do this.
