Frequently asked questions

 

Consultations

  • How does an online consultation work?

    Simply select your chosen treatment and complete our confidential online medical questionnaire. One of our qualified independent prescribers will review your consultation to determine whether the requested treatment is safe and appropriate for you.

  • Do I need to speak to a doctor?

    Not usually. Most treatments can be assessed through our secure online consultation. If we need any additional information, a member of our clinical team will contact you before making a prescribing decision.

  • Does completing a consultation guarantee treatment?

    No. Every consultation is reviewed individually by one of our clinicians. Treatment will only be prescribed if it is considered safe, clinically appropriate and in your best interests.

  • How long does it take for my consultation to be reviewed?

    We aim to review consultations as quickly as possible during our opening hours. If additional information is required, this may slightly delay the review process.

Safety

  • What if the treatment isn't suitable for me?

    If our clinician believes your requested treatment isn't appropriate, we won't prescribe it. Where possible, we'll explain why and may recommend an alternative treatment or advise you to speak with your GP or another healthcare professional.

  • What should I do if I experience side effects?

    Please read the Patient Information Leaflet supplied with your medicine before taking it. If you experience side effects or have concerns about your treatment, seek appropriate medical advice. Serious reactions require immediate medical attention.
