Whilst I'm getting very close to agreeing with
@Essexyellows which of course makes me feel a bit dirty, but being in full-time employment in a different town to my doctor, I think that remote meetings for GP appointments are a fantastic thing, if used correctly. First consultation via video is fine for me, then if something needs to be done F2F then another appointment can be arranged.
Granted it's not for everyone but there should definitely be time set aside for those who want the convenience of using modern technology to streamline their doctor appointments.
