When I should i see a GP Online?
Online doctor consultations can be used for non-emergency medical issues where a physical examination may not be necessary. Most everyday illness can be treated by our GPs online. For urgent medical issues you should seek face-to-face advice from your GP or doctor.
Please Note: You must not use this service for emergencies or urgent conditions, such as (but not limited to) those listed below, as this may delay necessary treatment.
If you believe that you are in an emergency or life-threatening situation, contact your local Emergency Services immediately, especially if you or someone:
has severe difficulty or is not breathing
is having a heart attack or stroke
has severe chest pain
has severe abdominal pain
has severe bleeding
has lost consciousness
is in an acute confused state and/or is having fits which are not stopping
is in suicidal distress
is experiencing an acute mental health crisis
For urgent medical issues, you should seek face-to-face advice from your GP or doctor.
Online consultations are not a replacement for regular health services you are normally registered with, such as a General Practice. You may still need to see a healthcare professional face to face. You may also be advised to contact the emergency services if the clinician feels it is necessary.
