Should I see the pdoc in person which is a 30 train drive and a walk or talk on phone. I made a decision to go there but regret it now

You should see him by phone (telemedicine)
Covid is still a big issue in the UK

Take advantage of the phone visits while you can. No need to travel or be exposed to covid

If you can do a video call that would maybe be a good idea

Surprised they don’t have the option for video conference. One of my pdoc’s was out of town so often I would catch up with him via Skype.

I think the pdocs read body language as part of the assessment, and look at your physical condition as well, to gauge how you are going. So the visual is useful to them.

Covid takes precedence though, stay safe!
