Plus, none of your video consultations or text chats are recorded — your medical record is the only place where sensitive data is saved .

If your GP surgery has partnered with us, you are able to see an online doctor with the NHS. If we're not currently partnered with your local surgery in Leicester, you can still see an online doctor privately for a fee. Find out if your surgery is eligible by clicking here
