Telehealth Policy

What is a Telehealth Video Appointment?

A Telehealth video appointment allows you to meet with your practitioner via secure video call instead of attending in person. It provides the same level of care in a more flexible and accessible way.

Preparing for Your Telehealth Session

Please ensure you have:

  • A computer, tablet, or mobile phone with a camera and microphone

  • A stable internet connection

  • A private, quiet space where you feel comfortable speaking openly

  • Somewhere to jot down notes during your session

  • A supported browser (Chrome, Safari, Firefox, Edge) updated to the latest version

  • (Optional) The Zoom app installed for the best experience

    • Mobile: Search for Zoom Cloud Meetings in the App Store / Google Play

    • Desktop: Visit zoom.us/download, select Zoom Client for Meetings, and follow the install steps

How to Join Your Telehealth Appointment

  1. About 5 minutes before your session, click the link in your booking confirmation email.

  3. When prompted, allow your browser to access your camera and microphone.

    • If you encounter issues, please check your browser settings.

Privacy and Security

  • Our Telehealth sessions run through Zanda Health, which uses encrypted and secure platforms such as Zoom.

  • Sessions are not recorded unless discussed and agreed in advance with both you and the Practice Director.

  • Your personal and health information is always handled in line with The Blue Lotus Practice Privacy Policy and relevant laws.

Important Notes

  • Telehealth is not suitable for all situations. If you are in crisis or require urgent help, please call 999 (UK) or your local emergency services immediately.

  • By attending your session, you confirm your agreement with The Blue Lotus Practice Terms & Conditions and Privacy Policy.
