How does it work?
Employees simply call the 24/7 helpline, where they’ll speak to an experienced member of the customer service team who will book either a telephone or video appointment with a GP between 08:00am – 10:00pm (excluding Bank Holidays). One of our doctors calls the employee back at the appointed time and the consultation begins.
With no time limit, employees can speak to a clinician for as long as necessary about any concerns or symptoms.
The service is not a replacement for an employee’s own NHS GP. They may still need to see their own GP or contact the emergency services if the doctor feels it is necessary. Employees should not use the service for emergencies or urgent conditions as this may delay necessary treatment.
