How it Works
Start an online doctor chat, describe your symptoms, and get answers in minutes. You can send photos, share your health history, ask follow-up questions, and access high-quality care on demand — day or night.

What to Expect
A licensed provider or primary care physician will review your medical data, ask relevant questions, and discuss treatment options, including whether they can prescribe medications, or recommend an in-person visit such as an urgent care center or emergency department when needed.

Why Text?
Prefer typing over talking? Virtual visits via text are flexible, discreet, and ideal for mental health support, chronic conditions, and common conditions. Chat on your own time, skip the waiting room, and keep a written record of your medical questions and treatment plan.

AI
Our AI-powered system securely matches you with the best board-certified doctors, nurse practitioners, or healthcare providers based on your symptoms, visit type, and care needs — from primary care to urgent care advice.

Confidential & Secure
Every chat is encrypted and 100% confidential. Your medical info stays safe, and only you and your doctor can access your messages.

Frequently asked questions

You start by creating a free account, then submit your medical question through a secure text-based consultation. A licensed NHS doctor or healthcare provider reviews your symptoms, may ask follow-up questions, and responds with clear medical guidance. Most replies are provided within minutes.

This service provides NHS-aligned online doctor consultations delivered by licensed and NHS-registered doctors. It does not replace your GP but offers on-demand virtual care for non-emergency medical concerns.

Text consultations start at £9 per question, including up to three follow-up questions. This is a self-pay service with transparent pricing and no insurance required.

At this time, consultations are self-pay, meaning no insurance coverage is required. This makes the service accessible for patients who may not have health insurance or insurance plans.

Online doctors review the health information you provide during the consultation. They do not automatically access your full NHS record unless you explicitly share or authorise it.
