This pilot study outlines the process of implementing a virtual clinic (VC) review pathway, and assesses patient satisfaction, safety and costs.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Trust ethics approval was sought prior to implementation. The VC review pathway involved a locally performed X-ray, requested by the general practitioner, followed by a proforma-based telephone questionnaire with a clinical nurse specialist. Following the VC appointment, a telephone satisfaction survey was performed, which included overall satisfaction, a friends and family test, and time for feedback. Conversion back to traditional clinic review and adverse events were recorded.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Eighty-four patients were reviewed out of 101 invited.
