How an online GP consultation works in Recess
An online GP consultation follows the same shape as a surgery visit. Your doctor asks about your symptoms and medical history, may ask you to describe — or show on camera — what is bothering you, and agrees a plan with you: advice, a prescription, a certificate, a referral, or a recommendation to be seen in person.
Appointments last about 15 minutes. Book a slot, give us a few details and the reason for your visit, and your GP will contact you at the time you chose, wherever you are in Recess.
