What are ACPs?

Our Advanced Clinical Practitioners (ACPs) are fully qualified, highly skilled, and trained clinicians, who’ve undertaken post graduate training and masters’ qualifications in clinical practice. This means you can feel reassured that your health is in safe hands.

What does this mean for you?

When you’re feeling under the weather or you need something looking into, you can be seen by a healthcare professional within a few hours and be on the road to feeling better, sooner.

Our ACPs can help with a wide variety of health concerns and are your ‘go-to’ if you have a minor ailment or a flare up of illness. They’re able to:

• Assess your condition
• Diagnose and treat your symptoms, including issuing prescriptions
• Plan any follow up treatment that is needed
• If needed they can also refer your further treatment

How can I make an appointment with an ACP?

Our Advanced Clinical Practitioners are available Mon-Sun, including bank holidays, between the hours of 8am and 10pm. By selecting an appointment with an ACP you’ll benefit from:

• Convenience – you can be speaking with an Advanced Clinical Practitioner, by video or phone, from wherever you are, whether you’re commuting to work, at the end of a long day or at the weekend. 
• Control – you have the flexibility to choose the healthcare professional best suited to your health concern.
• Confidence – feel reassured that you’re speaking with a fully qualified ACP, who’s trained in virtual consulting. You can use the service alongside your NHS GP, and view and share your notes with your regular doctor.

To make an appointment with an ACP log onto your Doctor Care Anywhere account, via the web or on the app, answer a few of questions regarding your health concern and if suitable you’ll be offered an appointment with an Advanced Clinical Practitioner¹ – it couldn’t be easier!
