As of 2020, Consultdoc has made it possible for people to obtain medical advice without having to sit through the discomfort of crowds and the inconvenience of cancelled appointments. We have taken all steps required to provide individuals all around the country with an easy access point to competent care from an expert general practioner. We have teamed up with the Care Quality Commission (CQC) to offer all GP services; therefore you can have confidence that the online GP consultation you see is qualified. Consultdoc meets all requirements set forth by CQC.
Why Use Our Online Service?
We built our platform on three key principles—speed, experience, and continuity. Unlike unregulated apps where your doctor is just ‘available,’ our doctors are qualified GPs with membership to the Royal College of General Practitioners and are fully registered with the GMC. As a user of our online GP service, you speak with an experienced general practitioner who has many years of NHS experience.

Real World Examples:
Last week. A father residing in Leith reached out to us because his son had developed an unexplained rash, along with a very high fever (104+ degrees Fahrenheit). He was very much stressed out and didn’t know if his son had a virus or required antibiotics. We connected the father with one of our GPs within 1 hour from the time of contact. The GP provided him with an explanation of the rash, diagnosed it as a viral infection, prescribed appropriate care instructions for managing the fever and provided him with a digital sick note for his employer so he could stay home with his son without incurring any financial hardship.
