1. 聯絡我們預約醫生上門

2. 我們與醫生確認上門時間

3. 與你確認上門睇症時間

「老友宅醫」平台由早上10時至晚上6時運作，至於實際的應召服務時間則視乎個別醫生或醫護人員。

只要你是香港認可的私人執業醫生或醫護人員，而又認同「老友宅醫」的理念都歡迎加入。

只要登記成為「老友宅醫」的醫療團隊，並為客戶提供過至少一次上門診症服務，即可獲「老友宅醫」頒發的「老友宅醫」夥伴醫生／醫護服務機構認證標誌，並獲授權張貼於你的診所／醫護機構內。

若是新的客戶，醫生和護士是「老友宅醫」團隊中的主要服務人員， 也可以說是「先頭部隊 」。在家訪前，我們會先了解病人的病歷和家庭照顧者情況，其後到場觀察實際情況、提問及 記錄， 從而訂定療程、 指導照顧者及協調其他專業人員等。 通常在第一次家訪時，醫生和護士會一起進行以下工作步驟︰

1.收集病人生理數據：檢查身體狀況，血壓、血氧濃度、體溫、脈搏。如有需要會採集尿液樣本及抽血監測其他情況。

2. 按照數據調整藥物：醫院可能會有藥物提供，或病人有長期服用的藥物。醫生可能對照目前所測量到的數據來調整藥物及服用量。

3. 指導正確的照顧技巧：這部分與照顧者及家屬互動最多，可以分成下列幾個細項：

3.1.從頭到腳的皮膚及環境檢視，旨在去除壓傷或其他危險因素，例如長期卧床的失能人士最容易壓傷尾骶骨，若有瘀傷或破皮、擦傷等，更要提醒照顧者在更換尿布時小心，並須定時翻身及上藥。

3.2.觀察與調整照顧者對病人的翻身動作是否符合力學與安全性以預防彼此弄傷，包括如何正確使用大浴巾墊在病人身下，有助於省力的定時翻身亦方便更換尿布和清潔。

3.3.提醒餵食後，病人要維持坐姿30分鐘，預防嗆咳造成吸入性肺炎。又如癌症末期的病人進食量會下降，讓家屬知道後，就不會擔心太多……

4. 確認所需器材及其正常可用情況：例如輪椅、自行量度血壓和血糖的儀器等等。

5. 評估是否需要其他專業人員參與整個療程，例如物理治療師和營養師等。

我們現階段主打服務港島及九龍區的居民，但會逐步擴展服務網絡

不是。一般情況下，較常見的病痛如濕疹等皮膚病，或跟進覆診，可使用視像診症。至於發燒、感冒、跌傷或呼吸道毛病等，則宜召喚醫生上門診症。

當收到客戶的召喚通知後，我們會馬上評估病者的病情，然後再作出合適的配對。如病症屬較嚴重或緊急，我們建議立刻致電召喚救護車到醫院急症室求醫。

可以。除物理治療服務外，「老友宅醫」也可轉介專科醫生、社康護士，以及安排抽血化驗、注射疫苗等服務。還有職業治療、言語治療 、壓瘡處理、中風康復及晚期癌症舒緩服務等。

需要。因為醫生需要向照顧者了解病人的病歷和病情。

醫生會按病人情況進行各類不同的檢查，一般會量度血壓、測試血含氧量、體溫及抽血檢查等。

除了提供在宅醫療上門診症服務外，我們的姐妹社會企業「老友所醫」專為安老院舍的長者提供上門診症的預約服務。詳情請瀏覽：http://needs.doctornow.hk/
