Use current readings and monitoring to determine whether stable treatment can continue.
Continuing medicationA short series taken correctly is more informative than a single stressed reading.

| Clinical question | Why it matters |
|---|---|
| 01How many readings are useful? | A short series taken correctly is more informative than a single stressed reading. |
| 02Can medication be changed remotely? | A change may be possible after a full assessment, but a routine repeat pathway is for unchanged treatment. |
Use the doctor consultation for a new problem, new symptoms, side effects or a dose change.
Use the repeat review only when the medicine and dose are unchanged and you can provide evidence.
The doctor checks whether the likely diagnosis, treatment history and safety information are clear enough for remote care. Examination, testing or a local referral is recommended whenever that is the safer next step.
