What is a Virtual GP?
Virtual GP is a digital healthcare service that allows patients to consult with qualified doctors remotely, typically through video calls, phone calls, or chat-based platforms. This service provides increased accessibility for individuals who may have difficulty visiting a traditional healthcare facility due to distance, mobility issues, or time constraints. By utilising virtual GP services, patients can receive timely medical advice, prescriptions, and referrals without the need for an in-person appointment, making healthcare more convenient and efficient.
Businesses are investing in Virtual GP platforms to improve their employee benefits offering. It is a simple and cost-effective way to improve the lives of employees and help you stand out against your competitors. As the demand for flexible healthcare options continues to grow, virtual GP services are becoming an integral part of employee benefits strategies. Virtual GP services can be included with corporate private medical insurance (PMI), group risk, cash plan or on a standalone basis.
