Kamal’s Story: How Virtual GP Services Simplified My Family’s Healthcare

As a dad trying to balance work, family life, and everything else, finding the time to sort out healthcare can feel impossible. That’s why I’ve been genuinely impressed with Doctor Care Anywhere, a service my employer provides as part of our benefits package.

Flexible Healthcare That Fits Family Life

Having access to a GP for myself and my family—without the hassle of appointments that clash with work or school—has been an absolute lifesaver. The fact that it’s all covered by my employer makes it even better.

It’s the kind of thing that really comes in handy when you’re dealing with everyday issues like coughs, skin rashes, or minor illnesses. Instead of waiting weeks for an NHS appointment or sitting in a crowded waiting room, I can book an appointment online and often have a consultation the same day. It’s quicker, easier, and fits right into my schedule, which is a massive help when you’re juggling family responsibilities.

Compassionate Care for My Kids

The moment that really stood out for me was when my daughter, Riya, needed to see a GP. She’d been feeling a bit off lately, and I wanted to get her checked out without her missing school or me taking the day off work. Dr. Matthews, who we spoke with, was brilliant. He was patient, clear, and really made Emily feel at ease, which isn’t always easy with kids. He explained things in a way she could understand and gave us a plan of action that left us both feeling reassured.

Same-Day Appointments and Prescription Delivery

What makes this service even better is the convenience. If a prescription is needed, I don’t have to go out of my way to get it. We can have it delivered the same day or collect it from a nearby pharmacy. It’s a small thing, but when you’ve got a busy schedule, it makes a big difference.

Honestly, I think every workplace should offer Doctor Care Anywhere as a benefit. It’s saved me so much time and stress, while also helping reduce the pressure on the NHS. As a dad, it’s a relief to know that my family’s health is taken care of quickly and easily, without disrupting our routines. For me, it’s one of the most practical and valuable perks my company offers—and one I think every parent would appreciate.
