Webside Manner

Dr. Abdul Seckam, Beverley Jerome, and Rachael Ordell exploress the transformation of healthcare interactions in the digital era. It introduces the concept of “webside manner,” an adaptation of traditional bedside manner tailored to the virtual consultation environment. With the shift to digital health services, particularly accelerated by the COVID-19 pandemic, clinicians are challenged to maintain effective communication and empathy through screens.

Placing patients at the heart of digital solutions to care

The patient’s voice is central to health care. Patient and public involvement (PPI) is also important for an intervention, research, innovation, and education (R, I and E) project pathway which the author has developed (Figure 1). In the author’s opinion, consulting and embedding PPI, for example in this cyclical intervention process (Figure 1), can allow for better engagement in an intervention, leading to better outcomes.
