“…Telemedicine has now become a routine part of daily practice in a range of obstetrics and gynaecology settings, for example, antenatal care, 4 postpartum care, 5 gynaecology, 6 family planning and abortion care. 7 The advantages to patients and clinicians persist after the pandemic and, in many scenarios, telemedicine has become the preferred option for the delivery of clinical care (as seen in the NHS long term plan (https://www.longtermplan.nhs.uk/onlineversion/). These advantages include increased access to care, 8 convenience, 9 cost efficiency 10 and patient engagement 11 and reduced exposure to infections.…”

Key content The use of telemedicine in obstetrics and gynaecology clinical practice increased significantly during the COVID‐19 pandemic. This article presents a framework to ensure training opportunities continue during telemedicine consultations, allowing trainees to develop their skills within the framework of telemedicine to optimise consultations and safe clinical practice. Remote teaching offers several advantages and disadvantages over face‐to‐face teaching. The value of each teaching method needs to be considered for the specific setting and the content tailored accordingly. Hybrid delivery is an option now that the infrastructure is in place. Telementoring includes remote supervision of clinics and expert review of, for example, colposcopy and ultrasound images. The technology is available for live‐stream remote supervision of ultrasound and surgery, allowing expert input out of hours or in geographically isolated areas. Telesimulation training can occur remotely and offers the possibility of remote assessment with artificial intelligence. The use of simulation technology may facilitate the standardisation of practical skills assessment in obstetrics and gynaecology. Learning objectives To consider a framework to ensure training opportunities and safe clinical practice during telemedicine consultations. To understand the range of remote training modalities available to improve accessibility to practical skills training and wider access to theoretical knowledge. Ethical issues How can we provide adequate supervision during telemedicine and is there an effect on patient safety? How can trainers and trainees optimise continuing postgraduate learning opportunities as telemedicine and telementoring are established in mainstream clinical practice?
