Highlights Virtual clinics improved adherence to the BOAST COVID-19 guidelines. An early consultant opinion reduces face to face clinic appointments, rationing resources, improving efficiency and clinical safety. Virtually assessing the 26 patients who were incorrectly initially seen face-to face would have saved 22 appointments and 13 Xray attendances. Triaging all patients through virtual clinic improved compliance to the BOAST COVID-19 guidelines to 99%.
