Seven Days a Week

Two ways to see a doctor, 7 days a week

Weekday or weekend, your team can book a GP from morning until late evening. They choose how — a phone call or a video consultation.

Consultations are with GMC-registered GPs and other registered clinicians. Not an AI chatbot. Real clinicians who can advise, prescribe privately where appropriate and refer.

  • Appointments 7 days a week, from morning until late evening
  • Phone or video — whatever suits the moment
  • GMC-registered GPs
  • Dependants included — children, a spouse or civil partner, and adults in the employee's care

Prescriptions

From consultation to a private prescription

When your employee needs medication, the GP can issue a private prescription to be dispensed at a UK pharmacy, where clinically appropriate. The medication itself is paid for at the pharmacy.

Need a fit note for work or a referral letter? The consulting GP can issue those too, where clinically appropriate.

  • Private prescriptions dispensed at UK pharmacies
  • Fit notes issued by the consulting GP
  • Referral letters when onward care is needed

FAQ

Common questions about the GP Service

Are the doctors real, qualified GPs?

Yes. Consultations are with practising GPs registered with the General Medical Council, or other registered clinicians such as pharmacists or nurses where appropriate. You're speaking to real, qualified medical professionals.

Can doctors actually prescribe medication?

Yes, where clinically appropriate. The GP can issue a private prescription to be dispensed at a UK pharmacy. The cost of the medication is paid by the employee at the pharmacy.

Is this a replacement for the NHS?

No — it complements the NHS. For non-urgent issues, it gives your team access to a GP without the wait for an NHS appointment. For anything requiring hospital treatment or A&E, the service will always direct employees to the appropriate NHS pathway.

How much does it cost on top of the base plan?

The virtual GP service comes with the Employee Assistance Programme as the optional Health & Wellbeing add-on, at +£2 per employee per month (exc. VAT) on top of Employee Benefits at £4.50 per employee per month.

Can employees' family members use the service?

Yes. Dependants are included: children the employee is responsible for, a spouse or civil partner, and adults in the employee's regular care. The GP service is for people living in the UK.
