Who answers the call?
A specially trained operator will answer your call. The operator will take some details from you and arrange for a Doctor to call you back at a convenient time. Should the Doctor think it advisable, and subject to your agreement, they will send a record of your consultation to your own GP (in the UK if applicable) in order to keep him/her informed.
It is important that during your consultations you provide full and accurate information about your medical history and current symptoms to the Doctor during your Appointment. Failure to provide full information may impact on the Doctor's ability to provide the services and make a full assessment of your health and care needs.
If you lose connection or miss your appointment, it is your responsibility to re-contact and rebook your appointment.
What can the Doctor do?
The large team of Doctors allows unlimited, convenient telephone consultations, accessed via trained dedicated operators in conjunction with specialist software and appropriate medical protocols.
70% of the consultations result in an effective diagnosis, meaning no further medical contact is needed.
The Service provides the patient with reassurance and advice about treatment. The telephone consultations conducted by the Doctors cover the full range of subjects seen in general practice and include advice on chronic disease management, minor illness, acute presentation of serious clinical conditions and general questions about prescriptions, travel and lifestyle. The practising Doctor is the accepted authority on healthcare and is uniquely qualified and insured to provide diagnosis and advice.
Please note in some circumstances based on your consultation the Doctor may still recommend that you seek local medical treatment or consultation. This will need to be arranged by you and be at your own cost. If you have Travel Insurance, you may wish to seek their additional assistance in locating a local doctor if required or enquiring if they will cover your costs.
