Three decades ago, the internet was only considered a major source of information, but it has since 
become an international portal that provides millions of users access to worldwide commerce and 
online services. One of the biggest advantages of the presence of the internet in our lives is the fact 
that it also gives us access to affordable, quality medical care. So, there is little doubt that the 
internet is one of the most impactful developments ever produced by man.
Not only does the amazing technology enable us to stay in touch with friends, loved ones and 
families, access information, watch television, and download or live stream music and videos, but it 
also makes a fantastic contribution in other critical areas, such as being able to consult with a doctor
online.
Perhaps it is mainly due to this advanced technology, or maybe the outbreak of the Covid-19 
pandemic in 2020 has contributed in some way, but whatever it is, people's approach to healthcare 
has also taken a new turn. Those days when patients had to wait weeks (sometimes even a month) 
to see a doctor's and then pay exorbitantly expensive prices for quality medical care, are over 
because you can now book and instantly consult with a GP online, without having to wait for several
days.
However, voice, sound and image are extremely essential for an online doctor’s consultation to be 
fruitful and effective and all that is required from you is a stable internet connection, and a proper 
device such as a computer, tablet, Android smartphone or iOS device. 
The initiative to make online consultations available to patients is especially supported by countries 
such as the UK and with the advent of broadband and video conferencing, many individuals have 
turned to the internet to consult doctors online and receive treatment or prescription medication.
Nowadays, doctors can even install a device that regulates the patient’s blood sugar levels and then 
the doctor can monitor the internet to decide whether the patient's insulin dose should be 
increased or decreased. All this without the patient having to physically go to the consulting room!
Obviously, not all medical conditions can be treated online and, in some cases, it might still be 
necessary to consult your doctor in person for a physical examination. Medical services that are 
offered online include Tonsilitis, Cystitis, Impetigo, Shingles and other common ailments such as 
colds and flu. 
However, if and when an online physician is unable to make a proper diagnosis based on the 
findings during an online consultation, the patient will be referred for a physical examination by a 
medical professional, to ensure the patient receives the correct diagnosis and treatment that he or 
she deserves.
Another benefit of booking your GP consultation online is that you do not have to leave the safety 
of your home during the pandemic and thus you can avoid contact and possible contraction of the 
dreaded Coronavirus. Online consultations, therefore, make the life of both the patient and the 
doctor much less complicated and easier, and advocates of this service will argue that there is no 
difference between online assessment and diagnosis, and a physical doctor’s visit.
Most doctors that form part of a panel of medical professionals on an online doctor service or 
platform offer their services on an international basis, which means patients from any destination in
the world can consult with an online doctor, at any time. You can even receive your sick note online,
or in case you need medicine, the doctor will send the prescription to your nearest pharmacy.
There are a few online health care websites and online doctor services in the UK that offer patients 
an assessment, diagnosis and treatment via the internet. However, you should first do some proper 
research and find an online platform that meets all your medical requirements, before you book 
your first online consultation.
