Most illnesses can be treated online by online doctors

Use an online GP when:

  • You need a routine prescription for everyday illnesses like coughs, colds, sore throat, upset stomach, or allergies such as hay fever.
  • You need a sick note* or referral
  • You want to be seen soon but it's not an emergency
  • You're worried or embarrassed and would prefer a discreet, remote consultation for issues like female urinary tract infections/cystitis (non-pregnant), skin & eye issues, mild to moderate anxiety, low mood, joint or back pain.

    *HealthHero cannot provide social welfare certificates (Certificate of Incapacity for Work). These must be accessed via your regular GP.
