How Online Doctors work?

The demand for access to see a GP is on the rise in the UK, and the pressure on doctors these days is so great that they are turning to technology to help ease the pressure utilising an the benefits of an online doctor.

There are now more ways we can reach our doctors without having to book a face to face meeting with them at your local GP surgery or health centre. One of the quickest and most convenient ways is to book an online consultation with your doctor to get the health advice you need.

Booking an online consultation with a doctor is growing in popularity and 98 per cent of patients using this service reported a positive experience and would be happy to use this method of contact again.

One of the greatest benefits of using an online doctor is that there is no need to travel to an appointment. This can be very helpful if you are suffering from an illness or injury that prevents you from driving or walking to your appointment.

There can also be health benefits to using an online doctor, especially if you have a contagious virus that you could spread to other sick people in the waiting room of your GP surgery. It can also help your healing if you can consult with a doctor from the comfort of your own bed.

Good for reassuring patients

While the invention of the internet has brought many benefits to people, the ability to look up your symptoms online can often lead to more confusion and worry.

With nearly 40 per cent of people going online to self-diagnose and find out what medical conditions they may have, it can be so reassuring to have an online consultation with your doctor to actually cut through all the noise, look at your symptoms and give you a proper diagnosis.

By using virtual doctors to check your symptoms you stand a much better chance of diagnosing a health issue, the possible cause and be prescribed the appropriate treatment that takes any other health conditions you have into consideration.

Fast, cost-effective treatment

We all know that NHS waiting lists are growing and this also includes booking an appointment to see your GP in person. If you are in pain right now, it can feel very disheartening to wait for up to two weeks or more to see your GP.

This is why booking a consultation with an online doctor can give you relief from your symptoms much sooner. If you are struggling to manage your symptoms with over the counter pain killers and remedies, then it can work out to be a very expensive waiting time to see your doctor.

By having an online doctor consultation you can be diagnosed quicker and prescribed the most effective medicine to ease your symptoms and treat your condition.

Help with regular prescriptions

A lot of patients need to check in with their doctors so that they can get a repeat prescription. In a lot of cases, this is necessary because your doctor may want to do a physical examination and take your blood pressure to make sure that your prescribed medication and dose is still working for you.

However, there are many cases where you don’t need to see your doctor face to face to get a repeat prescription. This is where a quick online consultation can help to save time. Your doctor may only need a quick five-minute chat with you to ensure your treatment is going well and that you are not experiencing any side effects or worsening of your condition.

This is also helpful when you need repeat prescriptions of standard everyday medications such as allergy medication and contraceptive pills.

How Access Doctor can help?

There are often occasions when you may need prescription medications to treat a condition that needs more help than you can get from over the counter alternatives.

If you face a long wait to see your GP in person and they don’t offer an online consultation, then you can access prescription medicines to treat your condition via Access Doctor.

For example, if you suffer from seasonal allergies such as hayfever there are several allergy medications you can get from Access Doctor with a fast next day delivery. This means you can get relief from your allergy symptoms and carry on with your normal life far quicker than waiting for days or even weeks to see your GP.
