See an NHS GP today*

The Virtually GP Online service is completely NHS funded and run by an NHS GP practice. That means it is completely free of charge for all patients who are registered with us. Every NHS GP Practice in England receives a set amount of money per patient per year to provide all of their care and that’s how we cover the cost of our services to you.

Virtually is a great service for anyone who doesn’t currently have a GP or who struggles to get an appointment with their existing NHS GP. The app is built for people of all ages and backgrounds. If you like the idea of speaking to an NHS clinician online from the comfort of your own home or workplace then switch to the Virtually GP Practice. We have online appointments available free of charge Monday to Friday. You won’t be giving up the ability to see a clinician in person. You are always welcome to see us face to face at our North London GP surgery. We recommend you live up to 1 hour from our North London clinic based in Archway/Holloway. You can find out whether your location is suitable by entering your postcode in the app. Although the majority of patients that register with us see us online, if you do not feel you can reasonably get to our North London clinic (N19) within an hour of travel in the event that you do need to see a doctor or nurse in person, please do not register until we have a clinic in your area.

Yes. Not only can you choose whether your clinician is male or female, but you can also choose the specific person you wish to speak with. We’ll display a list of the available clinicians and you can choose the doctor or nurse you want to speak to. That means as long as they are available you can speak to the same clinician every time.

To make sure we can give you the best care we need access to your NHS record. When you register with us we ask you for information about your identity, your previous address and previous GP practice this is so we can trace your NHS GP records. It is important to provide this information to us correctly so that we can accurately and quickly trace your records. We’ll receive your paper and electronic records and transfer everything for you. After completing your registration, you won’t need to do anything else.

All of the personal or sensitive information we hold about you is protected by encryption and held in secure UK-based data centers. We ask you to not share the password to your Virtually account with anyone to ensure the security of your account.

Sometimes we may need to see you in person. For example for vaccinations, smear tests or simply to feel or check something physical. If we need to see you in person we’ll ask you to book an in-person appointment by calling or emailing our patient support team.

If you need to be seen at a hospital our doctors will refer you to any NHS hospital in England of your choice (although most patients choose a hospital near their home or workplace).
