eConsult Description
eConsult allows NHS-based GP practices to offer their patients online consultations. Patients can submit their symptoms and requests electronically to their GP. This offers 24/7 access to NHS self-help information, signposting and a symptom checklist. eConsult, the most popular digital triage tool in NHS Primary Care, was created by NHS GPs and patients for patients. It is designed to improve patient access, practice efficiency, and point patients to the right place at right time. eConsult is available in 3,330 NHS practices and gives millions of patients online access to their GP. eConsult allows your patients to consult their NHS GP online. Simply complete a quick form and it will be sent to the practice. We can also direct patients to self-help, pharmacy advice, and local self-referral service. A eConsult takes GPs just 2-3 minutes to process.
