Health Apps and Telehealth

More and more health care happens online: booking appointments, ordering repeat prescriptions, seeing test results and talking to a doctor by video. This course walks you through these step by step, introduces the health and step-counting features already on your phone, and teaches you how to spot fake health products and pharmacy scams. It is not medical advice; always follow your own doctor.

What you will learn

• Your health service’s official app
• Booking appointments and repeat prescriptions
• Preparing for a telehealth video appointment
• Medical ID and emergency contacts

• Spotting fake pharmacies and miracle cures

Who this course is for

• Family carers helping with appointments

Every lesson has large, clear steps, a try-it-yourself task and a short quiz, and you earn a certificate when you finish. Lessons work for iPhone, iPad and Android; screens can look slightly different on your device.
