This was my first time using the service. The whole process was easy to follow and worked as expected. The doctor was great, I didn't feel rushed and the 20-minute slots meant that I could spend time having a good discussion on the right treatment. Absolutely fantastic.

Can I speak to a doctor when I am abroad?
You can speak to one of our doctors wherever you are in the world. Prescription fulfillment support is dependent on local laws but we will help as much as we can. In the UK and Europe prescriptions can be fulfilled in any pharmacy. Outside of Europe our doctors will give patients advice on the best medication to pick up locally. In countries where local laws prohibit the medication you need without a local doctor's prescriptions there is a delivery from the UK option to all our patients. Please note, these do incur often quite significant delivery charges and are subject to custom restrictions and delays.
Can I use my prescription internationally?
If you are in the European Economic Area we can have a prescription ready to pick up in a nearby pharmacy a few hours after your appointment, Monday to Friday 9pm - 5pm UK time. In the rest of the world the doctor will advise you on the best course of action to receive the medication you need - which might be to either advise on which medication to pick up at your nearest pharmacy or put you in touch with our pharmacy partner who will deliver it from the UK, local laws permitting. Please note delivery from the UK can incur significant costs and might be subject to customs restrictions and delays.
How many appointments am I entitled to?
You subscription entitles you to unlimited consultations with Doctor Care Anywhere for one year. This is subject to our fair usage policy set out in our terms and conditions.
