I have recently been through major heart surgery and am still in recovery at home. Having this service available to me at this scary time with Corona virus has been an absolute god send. The specialist who saw me online was caring, understanding, and really put my mind at rest.
Is Virtually expensive to use?
For instant access to high quality, regulated healthcare the costs of the service are very reasonable. Our service is linked to healthcare insurance providers and your medical care from Virtually maybe covered by your health insurance. Interest free payment plans are also available.
Do my NHS records get transferred to Virtually?
No. However, to provide Virtually clinicians as much information as possible to provide you with the best care possible, we would ask you to allow us to have temporary electronic access to your medical records. We will give you simple instructions on how to give our clinicians access if needed.
Is Virtually right for me?
Virtually is a great service for anyone who doesn’t currently have a GP or who struggles to get an appointment with their existing NHS GP. The app is built for people of all ages and backgrounds. If you like the idea of speaking to a clinician online from the comfort of your own home or workplace then use Virtually. We have online appointments available Monday to Sunday. You won’t be giving up the ability to see your own GP. Any virtually consultation will be forwarded to your NHS GP.
Can I choose whether I speak with a male or female clinician?
Yes. Not only can you choose whether your clinician is male or female, but you can also choose the specific person you wish to speak with. We’ll display a list of the available clinicians, and you can choose the doctor or nurse you want to speak to. That means if they are available you can speak to the same clinician every time.
Is the service secure?
All of the personal or sensitive information we hold about you is protected by encryption and held in secure UK-based data centres. We ask you to not share the password to your Virtually account with anyone to ensure the security of your account.
How does it work when things can’t be done digitally?
Sometimes we may need to see you in person. For example, for vaccinations, smear tests or to carry out an appropriate physical examination. If we need to see you in person, we’ll ask you to book an in-person appointment by calling or emailing our patient support team.
Can you refer me to a hospital near me?
If you need to be seen at a hospital our doctors will refer you to any NHS or private hospital in England of your choice (although most patients choose a hospital near their home or workplace).
Do I have to switch from my current GP?
No. Virtually is not an NHS service. We will liaise with your current GP (with your permission) to ensure your NHS medical records are kept up to date.
Where is your clinic?
If you do need to see a doctor in person, Virtually’s Patient Support Team will arrange a consultation at the closest clinic to your location.
How long are the appointments?
Virtually appointments are at least 15 minutes or 30 minutes long allowing enough time for the clinician to address the nature of your condition or symptoms and explain thier findings and treatment plan for you.
How soon can I get an appointment?
We have clinicians available within an hour for digital appointments. In-person appointments may be a slightly longer wait.
How do prescriptions work?
A private prescription will be sent to you online, within one hour of your consultation.
Who are the clinicians?
Our team of clinicians are made of GPs, Pharmacists, Physicians Assistants and Nurses, all of whom are registered with the appropriate UK regulator. All our clinicians are UK based with some working remotely.
Can I see you face to face?
For some conditions we may request to see you in person at our clinic. You are always welcome to book a face-to-face appointment with our team if you wish, however you may have to wait slightly longer for in-person appointments than you do for digital appointments.
You will be able to request assistance for administrative matters to do with your health care through the in-platform HelpDesk on your Virtually dashboard. This includes assistance with arranging tests, receiving copies of test reports, help with arranging appointments or obtaining medication prescribed by a Virtually doctor. Each request raises a ticket number which you can use to track the progress of your request.
Virtually ensures you see an experienced clinician by doing the following checks before a clinican joins Virtually.
