What to expect

A private GP video consultation runs 10–15 minutes for standard issues, similar to in-person. The GP can issue private prescriptions (emailed for collection at any UK pharmacy), sick notes, and onward referrals. Some controlled medications cannot be prescribed without an in-person consultation. If physical examination is needed, the GP will recommend an in-person follow-up — some clinics offer free or discounted follow-ups in this case. Video consultations use secure, GMC-compliant platforms with end-to-end encryption. Notes are kept under the same confidentiality rules as in-person visits.

Frequently asked questions

  • Can a video GP issue a prescription?
    Yes, video private GPs can issue private prescriptions, which are emailed to you and can be filled at any UK pharmacy. Some controlled medications require an in-person consultation by law.
  • Can a video GP issue a sick note?
    Yes, a private GP can issue a private sick note (medical certificate) following a video consultation. The note is sent electronically and is accepted by most UK employers.
  • Are video consultations safe and confidential?
