possibility, 4 did not feel confident and 3 did not have the correct equipment. The remaining patients cited numerous reasons for not taking up this service. In the satisfaction analysis of 17 initial telemedicine consultations 5/6 patients (81%) were very satisfied with telemedicine follow up. 4 patients (66%) found the platform extremely easy and 2 (34%) easy to use. Conclusion: On treatment monitoring of oral TKI therapy could be effectively carried out using video consultation platform reducing the number of hospital visits. The consultations provided necessary information and allowed for adequate clinical assessment. However the initial take up rate is low mostly due to patient reluctance rather than unavailable technology. The overall feedback from participants was very positive and accepting of the service. The iKonsult video consultation is being introduced into other oncology settings.
