Frequently Asked Questions
​
“Isn’t this just a way of putting me off seeing the Doctor?”
No, email consultations and telephone appointments are often a way of getting through to a doctor more quickly and conveniently than if you waited for a face to face appointment.
​
“Isn’t this a way of stopping me getting a face to face appointment?”
Again – this isn’t the case. Many things can be arranged, discussed, or provided, without you needing to see the GP, and often more quickly than if you had to wait for a face to face appointment. It’s possible the doctor may feel that you need a face to face appointment after all, in which case one can be arranged at an appropriate time, often soon after your e-consultation.
​
“If the doctor asks me to come in anyway, why can’t I just have a face to face appointment in the first place?”
For confidentiality reasons, the Receptionists don’t always ask you why you want to see the doctor. So until the doctor speaks to you, they won’t know whether your issue needs to be dealt with face to face, or by telephone or email.
