A new GP online consultation has been launched in Hull and East Riding.

A new online consultation service could revolutionise the way patients across Hull and East Riding get medical advice from their GP.

Hull CCG and the East Riding of Yorkshire CCG are using digital technology to bring choice to patients who want to consult online, in many cases avoiding the need to make a visit to the GP practice altogether, saving time and a journey.

Patients who submit their symptoms online will get a response typically within 1-2 working days which could include advice, direction to other support such as the pharmacy or be booked in for an appointment if necessary. The service also offers around the clock NHS self-help information, signposting to services, and a symptom checker. Patients can also request prescriptions and test results, referral letters and medical reports.

It’s easy and there’s no need to register, patients simply visit their GP Practice website.

Contact your GP Practice to find out if they have Online Consultation.
