Video consultations may be offered where clinically appropriate. Some patients will need a face-to-face appointment, examination or further verification before treatment decisions can be made.

Where a private prescription is issued, you may choose a registered pharmacy that is able to dispense it. Medication costs are paid separately to the pharmacy.
