What is an online GP and nurse service?

An online or video doctor is a digital health service offering remote appointments and consultations with registered GPs and Advanced Nurse Practitioners using a smartphone or tablet.


Appointments can be held over video or telephone and can often be provided on the same day they're requested. The video service differs from phone appointments as it offers a face-to-face experience, and patients can show visible symptoms on the video call.


Advantages of online doctor and nurse appointments:

  • list item icon

    You can get an appointment quickly and at a time that suits you, with video consultations available 8am - 10pm and telephone appointments 24/7*

  • list item icon

    You can have a face-to-face conversation from anywhere*

  • list item icon

    No waiting rooms by booking the exact time of your appointment

First time using the GP service and it was absolutely superb! I got a same-day appointment, booked online at 4am with many different time slots to choose from...My prescription was available immediately for my local pharmacy to download and dispense, and all I did was pay for the medication which was £7. Absolutely brilliant!
