How to Prepare for an Online Doctor Consultation

A little preparation can make your consultation easier.

Before your appointment:

• Find a quiet and private place.
• Check your internet connection.
• Make sure your device is charged.
• Keep your current medication list nearby.
• Note any known allergies.
• Have relevant medical records available if needed.
• Write down your main symptoms.
• Note when your symptoms started.
• Make a list of questions you want to ask.

Be honest and complete when describing your health concern. Your doctor relies on the information you provide when assessing whether online care is appropriate.

When Online Medical Care May Not Be Suitable

Online healthcare is convenient, but it is not suitable for every medical situation.

You may need face-to-face healthcare when you require:

• A physical examination
• Urgent diagnostic testing
• Hospital treatment
• Immediate medical intervention
• Treatment for a serious injury
• Assessment of a rapidly worsening condition

If your doctor recommends an in-person assessment, follow that recommendation.

The safest option is not always an online consultation.

Emergency Medical Care in Portugal

Do not use an online doctor appointment for a medical emergency.

If you or someone with you may have a life-threatening medical problem, call 112 or go to the nearest emergency department.

Seek urgent medical attention for situations such as:

• Severe difficulty breathing
• Severe chest pain
• Loss of consciousness
• Signs of a stroke
• Serious injury
• Heavy or uncontrolled bleeding
• Rapid deterioration of your condition

If you are unsure whether a situation is an emergency, seek urgent local medical assistance rather than waiting for an online appointment.

Online Doctor Care Alongside Healthcare in Portugal

Health Clino provides a private online consultation option for suitable non-urgent healthcare needs.

It is not intended to replace emergency services, hospital care or an in-person medical assessment when one is necessary.

If your online doctor recommends seeing a local healthcare professional, arranging an examination or seeking urgent treatment, that recommendation should be followed.

Online healthcare works best when it is used for the situations where remote medical assessment is appropriate.

Cities Patients Can Join From in Portugal

Patients may be able to join online consultations from locations across Portugal, depending on service and appointment availability.

This can include patients in or around:

• Lisbon
• Porto
• Braga
• Coimbra
• Faro
• Funchal

You do not need to be located in one of these cities specifically. The important factors are whether the service is available to you and whether your health concern is appropriate for an online consultation.
