Once you have logged in to Q health, to access your Meetings Dashboard you will need to head to the ‘Meetings’ tab (third tab along underneath the Q health logo).

On the Meetings Dashboard, you are able to view your Meetings schedule. You can change the date you wish to view by pressing on the date box, and you can then either select a specific date or pick a range. To return to viewing just the current date, press 'Today'.

To create an instant meeting, press ‘Create for now’.

You can invite the patient via email or SMS by entering their email address or mobile number into the appropriate box. Pressing 'invite' will send the invite, whilst pressing 'join' will automatically send the invite and enter you into the Meeting. You can also copy the meeting link by pressing ‘Copy To Clipboard’ if you would like to send this link to guests in a different format.

If the 'Invite' button does not change to dark blue after entering a mobile number or email address, please ensure that there are no spaces before or after the number or email you have entered.

You can also create Meetings in advance by clicking ‘Create day & Time’, this will allow you to enter the title of your meeting and select the date and time. Once you have entered this information and clicked ‘OK’, the Meeting will appear in your Meeting schedule on the date of the Meeting. To invite guests to the Meeting, please navigate to the scheduled date and you will then be able to invite guests by pressing the 'Invite' button on the dashboard.

The meeting invitations as they appear via SMS and email are shown below:

Clinicians are also able to access meetings via their phone/tablet but they must organise and end the meeting on their computer (the clinician will need to invite themselves as well).

Patients can join and leave the Meeting at any time. When the clinician is ready to end the Meeting, the clinician needs to press the telephone icon.

A pop up will appear which provides three options: ‘End Meeting’ which will end the meeting for all, ‘Leave Meeting’ which will keep the video running for other members (the user can rejoin if necessary) or ‘Cancel’ which will cancel this pop up and return you to the Meeting.

When the clinician/host ends the meeting, the meeting will end for all the guests and a notification that the meeting has ended will appear in the top right of the clinician’s screen.

The clinician can also end the meeting from their meeting scheduler by pressing ‘End’ in red.
