Lars Røssel Ødegaard

Lars Røssel Ødegaard is a general practitioner at Åros Legesenter AS in Norway with speciality in primary care. Next to Åros, he manages a medical office 40 minutes from central Oslo, together with his two colleagues. Over recent years, they have started to digitalise their practice using video, secure written consultations and messages, and automatic booking for appointments online. Lars is especially fond of how drop-in video consultations have made general practitioners more accessible and available in a much more comfortable and hassle-free way for patients.
