The following remote consultation templates are available:
- Abdominal Pain in Child under 18
- Child under 18 with Limp
- Cough or Breathlessness in Child over 1 year
- Cough or Breathlessness in Child under 1 year
- Diarrhoea and Vomiting in Child under 18

- Fever + Temperature in Child under 18
- Head Injury in a Child under 18
- Rash in a Child under 18
- Sore throat in a Child under 18
- Unsettled baby under 3m
Access the remote consultation templates in one of the following ways:
- Click on the Run Template option within the consultation.
- Click on the Add > Data using Template option outside of a consultation.
Clicking on either of the options above will display the Template Picker screen. Search for the relevant remote consultation template by typing "Remote" into the search box
