Communicating with your healthcare professional

You can only reply to a message if your healthcare professional has activated this option.
Only healthcare professionals involved in your virtual care can see your messages.
The platform does not provide this information.

You can designate someone to help you with virtual care. This also applies to parents or guardians of children under 14 years old, as well as legal representatives.

This person can:

  • access questionnaires and messages sent by your healthcare professional;
  • participate in communication with your care team;
  • provide medical information about you;
  • accompany you to virtual appointments (through a link provided to them by email).
To invite a trusted person to accompany in you in your interactions with your healthcare professionals, you need to inform your care team. They will add the trusted person’s personal information to your account. The person will then receive an invitation code, as well as an email containing a link.

User support

You have two support options available:

Contact your healthcare provider or clinic

If your request concerns your follow-up as a patient, you should contact your healthcare provider. For example, if:

  • you need your healthcare provider to send you a new invitation code (because yours is lost or expired);
  • you need help understanding a question in a questionnaire;
  • you want to reschedule or cancel a virtual appointment.

Contact technical support

If you have a technical question, you should contact the Centre de soutien des services numériques en santé (CSSNS). For example, if:

  • you want to reset your password;
  • you need help creating your account;
  • you need help navigating the portal;
  • your login link is not working;
  • you are having trouble uploading a document to the portal.
