Private GP by Telephone & Video: Convenient Medical Advice for Adults
In today’s fast-paced world, getting timely access to a doctor can be a significant challenge. Lengthy waiting times, the inconvenience of travel, and fitting an appointment into a busy schedule can create barriers to receiving the medical care you need. Modern Telemedicine UK provides a powerful solution: direct access to an experienced, UK-based private general practitioner from the comfort and privacy of your own home or office.
Cherries Medical Clinic offers a premier Remote GP service, providing confidential and professional medical consultations for adults (18+) by telephone or secure video call. This Private GP Online service is designed for individuals who value convenience, speed, and direct access to a doctor who has the time to listen. Whether you have an acute concern, need advice on a persistent issue, or require a private prescription, our virtual service puts you in control of your healthcare, connecting you with a trusted clinician without the wait.
Why Choose a Virtual GP Consultation? The Benefits of Modern Healthcare
Unmatched Convenience and Accessibility
The most significant benefit of an Online Doctor UK service is the ability to speak to a clinician from anywhere. There’s no need to take time off work or travel. You can have your appointment on your lunch break, from your home office, or even while away from home. This removes the stress and logistical challenges of traditional appointments, making healthcare fit around your life, not the other way around.
Rapid Access to Medical Advice
When you’re feeling unwell, waiting days for an appointment is not ideal. Our Remote GP service is built for speed, often providing same-day private GP appointments. This rapid access can provide immediate peace of mind and prevent minor issues from becoming more serious. This is a core advantage of using a Private GP Online.
A Focus on Trust and Regulation
While our service is delivered remotely, it is provided by Cherries Medical Clinic, an established medical provider with a history of clinical service in locations like Slough and Southampton. Choosing our Online Doctor UK service means you are not using an anonymous platform, but a CQC-regulated clinic that is accountable for your care and safety.
Time for a Thorough, Unrushed Discussion
Private appointments are structured to ensure you have adequate time to discuss your concerns in full. Our doctors can explore your symptoms and medical history in detail, leading to a more holistic diagnosis and treatment plan. This unhurried approach is a cornerstone of our Telephone GP and Video GP services.
Discretion and Absolute Privacy
Discussing personal health matters requires a secure and private environment. A Virtual Medical Consultation from your own chosen space offers a level of discretion that a busy waiting room cannot. All our consultations are conducted over secure, encrypted connections to ensure your confidentiality is protected at all times.
Ideal for Managing Chronic Conditions & Second Opinions
For patients with stable, long-term conditions, a Remote GP is an incredibly efficient way to manage ongoing care, review medication, and discuss any new symptoms. It is also an excellent and discreet way to obtain a second medical opinion on a diagnosis or treatment plan you have received elsewhere.
When is a Remote Consultation Suitable for Adults (18+)?
Our experienced general practitioners can diagnose and manage a vast range of common conditions. Our Private GP Online service is highly effective for many situations, providing expert care without the need for a physical visit.
Our Online Doctor UK service can help with:
Acute Minor Illnesses: Comprehensive assessment for coughs, colds, flu-like symptoms, fevers, sinus congestion, tonsillitis, headaches, and migraines.
Skin Conditions: A Video GP call is particularly effective for the visual assessment and management of rashes, eczema, psoriasis, acne, rosacea, dermatitis, and common fungal infections.
Musculoskeletal Issues: Expert advice and management plans for joint pain, new-onset back pain, neck ache, repetitive strain injury (RSI), muscle strains, and sports injuries.
Digestive & Stomach Problems: Assisting with symptoms of acid reflux (heartburn), indigestion (dyspepsia), constipation, diarrhoea, and providing ongoing support for irritable bowel syndrome (IBS).
Urology & Kidney Issues: Advice on symptoms of urinary tract infections (UTIs) in women, and other common urinary or kidney-related queries.
Mental Health Support: Offering a confidential space to discuss anxiety, work-related stress, low mood, depression, and insomnia. Our Remote GP clinicians can offer initial advice, prescribe medication if appropriate, and provide referrals.
Men’s and Women’s Health: Discreet advice on a wide range of gender-specific issues from a Telephone GP, including erectile dysfunction, prostate concerns, contraception, menopause symptoms, and menstrual problems.
Medication Reviews and Repeat Prescriptions: Our service is an excellent platform for Online Prescriptions UK, allowing for safe and convenient reviews of your current medications or requests for repeat private prescriptions.
Lifestyle and Wellbeing Advice: Professional guidance on diet, exercise, smoking cessation, and general health improvement.
Reviewing Test Results: If you have results from a recent test, our GPs can help you understand them in detail and advise on the appropriate next steps.
Please note: This service is not for medical emergencies. If you are experiencing chest pain, difficulty breathing, a suspected stroke, a severe allergic reaction, or major bleeding, you must call 999 or attend A&E immediately.
Pricing, Inclusions, and How Our Service Works
We believe in transparent, simple, and valuable healthcare. Our process is designed to be straightforward from start to finish.
Consultation Fee
Each consultation normally costs £75, but we are currently offering a 20% discounted fee—just £60—for all telephone and video consultations booked through the diary link below.
Offer valid until 31st December 2025.
What’s Included in the Fee?
A 20-minute consultation with a qualified GP
Issuance of any referral letters, where medically appropriate
Private prescriptions, if necessary
(Please note: the cost of medication at the pharmacy is omitted and is paid directly by the patient.)
Important Notices
No face-to-face appointments are currently available. We are in the process of obtaining approval from health authorities to safely provide in-person examinations and treatments.
Remote consultations are for adults only (18+). At this time, we do not offer remote appointments for children, as a face-to-face setting is more appropriate for safe and accurate diagnosis.
The Consultation and Aftercare Process
Once you have booked your appointment via our portal, the process for your Virtual Medical Consultation is simple:
The Consultation: For a Telephone GP call, the doctor will call you directly. For a Video GP call, you will receive a secure link to join a private virtual room. During your 20-minute appointment, the doctor will listen to your concerns and discuss the best course of action.
Comprehensive Aftercare: Following your discussion with the Remote GP, they will ensure you have a clear plan. As included in your fee, this may involve issuing a private prescription, writing a referral letter, or providing a medical certificate. This streamlined approach includes handling requests for Online Prescriptions UK.
Regulation and Your Safety: Our Commitment to Excellence
Your safety and the quality of your care are our highest priorities when you use our Private GP Online service. It is important to understand how remote healthcare is regulated in the UK to ensure you are using a safe and reputable provider.
The Care Quality Commission (CQC): In England, all providers offering medical advice remotely, including any Online Doctor UK, must be registered with the CQC. The CQC inspects services to ensure they are safe, effective, compassionate, and well-led, holding digital providers to the same high standards as physical clinics. Cherries Medical Clinic is a CQC-regulated entity. Their oversight ensures that processes are robust and patient safety is paramount.
General Medical Council (GMC): All our doctors are registered with the GMC, the body responsible for the professional standards of all doctors practising in the UK. They adhere to strict guidelines on remote prescribing and patient care, ensuring your Virtual Medical Consultation is always conducted ethically and professionally. This registration is a public guarantee of quality.
Data Protection (GDPR): We are fully compliant with UK GDPR. Your personal and medical information is handled with the strictest confidentiality, stored securely, and never shared without your explicit consent. Choosing a UK-based provider like Cherries Medical Clinic ensures your data is protected under UK law.
Frequently Asked Questions about Virtual Doctor Services
Q: Is a Remote GP consultation as effective as seeing a doctor in person?
A: For a vast number of adult health conditions, yes. Research and extensive practice have shown that Telemedicine UK is highly effective for diagnosis and management of common issues. Our Remote GP service is designed for conditions where a physical examination is not typically required for an initial diagnosis.
Q: What happens if the doctor thinks I need a physical examination?
A: If, during your remote consultation, the GP determines that a physical examination is clinically essential, they will honestly advise you of this and recommend that you book an appointment with your local NHS GP or a provider who offers face-to-face services.
Q: Why is the service for adults (18+) only?
A: To ensure the highest standard of safe and accurate care, we have made the clinical decision to only offer our remote services to adults. Diagnosing illnesses in children often relies on subtle physical signs that can only be assessed in a face-to-face setting.
Q: What equipment do I need for a Video GP consultation?
A: All you need is a smartphone, tablet, or computer with a camera, microphone, and a stable internet connection. No special software is required for your Video GP appointment; you simply click a secure link.
Q: Can I use this service if I’m registered with an NHS GP?
A: Absolutely. Our service is complementary to the NHS. We encourage you to give us consent to share the details of your Remote GP consultation with your NHS GP to ensure your medical records remain complete, but this is your choice.
Q: Can I get Online Prescriptions UK through this service?
A: Yes. If the GP deems medication to be clinically necessary and appropriate during your consultation, they can issue a private prescription electronically to a UK pharmacy of your choice.
Q: What is the difference between this and my NHS GP?
A: The main differences are speed and convenience. Our Private GP Online service offers rapid access to an appointment, often on the same day, from anywhere. NHS services are free at the point of use but may involve longer waiting times.
