See a GP by video or phone
With Doctor@Hand, delivered by Doctor Care Anywhere, you can see a doctor quickly and easily while staying safe at home.*
And if the GP needs to prescribe something for you, they’ll arrange for this to be delivered to your home, for no more than the cost of a standard NHS England prescription.*
You can speak to a qualified GP by video or over the phone 24/7.
Appointments last 20 minutes and can be booked online or by using the Doctor Care Anywhere app. Appointments don’t count against any excess you may have so you can book as many as you need.*
