Private GP Video Consultations: How Online Healthcare Works in 2025

Nov 16

Written By Omar Elalfy

The way we access healthcare has fundamentally changed. Gone are the days when seeing a doctor meant booking weeks in advance, sitting in crowded waiting rooms, and taking time off work. Today, private GP video consultations bring medical expertise directly to your screen—offering professional healthcare from the comfort of your home, office, or wherever life takes you.

What Is a Private GP Video Consultation?

A private GP video consultation is a real-time, face-to-face medical appointment conducted through secure video technology. Using your smartphone, tablet, or computer, you connect with a qualified general practitioner who can assess your symptoms, provide diagnoses, recommend treatment plans, and issue prescriptions—all without requiring an in-person visit.

At The Online GP, our video consultations mirror traditional appointments in every meaningful way, except you're not traveling across London or rearranging your schedule. You're simply opening your device and speaking with a doctor.

How Do Private GP Video Consultations Work?

The process is refreshingly straightforward:

1. Book Your Appointment

WhatsApp us or visit our website to schedule your video consultation. Same-day appointments are typically available, with slots throughout the day to suit your schedule.

2. Receive Your Secure Video Link

Before your appointment, we'll send you a secure video link. No downloads, no complicated setup—just click and connect when your appointment time arrives.

3. Speak With Your GP

During your 30-minute video consultation, you'll have the full attention of a qualified general practitioner. Discuss your symptoms, medical history, and any concerns in a private, unhurried setting.

4. Get Your Prescription or Referral

If medication is needed, your GP can issue electronic prescriptions sent directly to your preferred pharmacy. Referrals to specialists, medical certificates, and sick notes can also be provided immediately.

What Can You Discuss in a Video Consultation?

Private GP video consultations handle the vast majority of healthcare needs:

• Acute illnesses (coughs, colds, infections)

• Chronic condition management (diabetes, hypertension, asthma)

• Mental health concerns (anxiety, depression, stress management)

• Skin conditions and rashes

• Prescription renewals and medication reviews

• Women's health and contraception advice

• Pre-travel health consultations

• Medical reports and certificates

• Second opinions on existing diagnoses

The only limitations are conditions requiring physical examination or diagnostic tests that can't be performed remotely—and even then, your GP can provide referrals to appropriate services.

Why Choose Video Consultations Over In-Person Appointments?

Convenience Without Compromise

No travel time. No waiting rooms. No taking half a day off work. Video consultations fit seamlessly into busy London lifestyles, whether you're working from home, at the office, or traveling.

Same-Day Access

NHS waiting times can stretch to weeks. Private video consultations are typically available the same day you book, meaning health concerns are addressed promptly rather than left to worsen.

Equal Quality of Care

Studies consistently show that video consultations deliver outcomes equivalent to in-person appointments for most conditions. You're receiving the same expertise, attention, and clinical care—just through a different medium.

Privacy and Comfort

Discuss sensitive health issues from the privacy of your own space. Many patients find video consultations less intimidating and more comfortable than clinical settings, leading to more open, honest conversations with their GP.

Is a Video Consultation as Good as Seeing a Doctor in Person?

For the majority of medical concerns, yes. Research published in medical journals demonstrates that video consultations are clinically effective for diagnosis, treatment, and ongoing care management.

Your GP can visually assess symptoms, review medical history, discuss treatment options, and prescribe medication—all the essential components of quality healthcare. For conditions requiring physical examination or diagnostic testing, your GP will advise whether an in-person visit is necessary and can provide appropriate referrals.

How Much Does a Private GP Video Consultation Cost?

At The Online GP, 30-minute video consultations are priced at £150. This includes comprehensive medical assessment, prescriptions if needed, medical certificates, and follow-up advice.

Compared to the cost of time off work, travel expenses, and the stress of navigating NHS waiting times, many Londoners find private video consultations offer exceptional value for professional, convenient healthcare.

Who Uses Private GP Video Consultations?

Our patients include:

• Busy professionals who can't spare hours for traditional appointments

• Parents managing children's health alongside work commitments

• Individuals with mobility challenges or chronic conditions

• Anyone seeking prompt medical advice without NHS delays

• Londoners who value personalized, unhurried healthcare

Video consultations democratize access to quality private healthcare, making it practical and affordable for anyone prioritizing their health.

Ready to Try a Video Consultation?

Healthcare should work around your life, not the other way around. Whether you're dealing with a current health concern or simply want convenient access to professional medical advice, private GP video consultations offer a modern solution to an age-old challenge.

WhatsApp us today to book your video consultation in less than 5 minutes. Professional healthcare, delivered wherever you are.
