Remote Delivery of the Satellite Virtual Fracture Clinic - a Pilot Report of the First 500 Cases

The virtual fracture clinic (VFC) has proven to be a safe, patient-focused, cost-effective means of delivering trauma care [1]. Virtualising the fracture clinic was initially conceptualised by the Glasgow Royal Infirmary in 2011, and subsequently introduced to the Irish Healthcare System in 2016 [1, 2]. VFC pathways have been repeatedly validated and demonstrate reproducible functional outcomes complimented by high levels of patient satisfaction [3-6].
