24/7 Online Doctor Consultation

Often one may have a mild flu or common cold, or mild gastroenteritis which keeps you home from work or school. For these conditions it may be best to book a tele consult, where a Doctor will have a video call with you in the comfort of your home, and furnish you with a full GP Consult. If your condition is more serious than you thought, you will be asked to come in or go to your nearest hospital, or a house call may be suggested.

Fluid Medical offers secure online doctor consultations via video call. A qualified general practitioner assesses your condition remotely and provides medical advice, diagnosis, and documentation where clinically appropriate.

This service is suitable for non-emergency medical conditions that do not require a physical examination.

What is a tele-consultation?

A tele-consultation is a structured medical consultation conducted via secure video call. The doctor takes a detailed history, evaluates symptoms, and determines appropriate management.

If physical examination or urgent care is required, you will be advised to attend the practice, request a house call, or present to hospital.

What conditions can be managed online?

An online GP consultation is appropriate for:

  • Mild flu or common cold
  • Gastroenteritis
  • Headaches
  • Uncomplicated urinary tract infections
  • Certain sexually transmitted infections
  • Skin conditions (e.g. rashes, eczema, acne follow-up)
  • Mild anxiety or sleep disturbances

Conditions requiring examination, imaging, or urgent intervention are not suitable for telemedicine.

Is telemedicine safe?

Telemedicine is appropriate for selected conditions. During your online doctor consultation, the GP will determine whether remote management is safe.

If your symptoms suggest a more serious condition, you will be advised to attend in-person consultation or emergency care.

Who should book an online consultation?

A telehealth consultation may be suitable if:

  • You are mildly unwell and prefer not to travel
  • You need medical advice quickly
  • You are isolating at home
