Virtual GP
A digital healthcare service that allows patients to consult with qualified doctors remotely.
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.
What Virtual GP features should you look for?
- The length of consultations provided
- The availability of appointments for your staff
- What healthcare needs do they cover e.g. routine check-ups, management of chronic conditions, mental health support, minor illness etc.
- Referrals for further treatment
- Can it integrate with your other benefits/services?
- The number of employee dependants that can access the service
- How easily the service can be accessed (NB: if it has to be accessed via a third-party platform this can increase administration costs)
What are the key benefits of a Virtual GP?
- Increased productivity due to fewer sick days
- Attracting and retaining talent through a comprehensive benefits package
- Increased levels of engagement with your employee benefits
- Happier and healthier employees
