i-GP

Minor illnesses account for 60 million GP appointments every year. There is considerable evidence to show that these conditions can be safely and effectively treated online whilst also offering significant cost savings.

Our service is the only type of its kind in the world and revolutionizes healthcare delivery by virtue of the following -

• Easy Access for Patients

Patients can access the system instantly 24/7 at home, at work or even on the daily commute through computers, tablets and even their mobile phone.

• Free Assessments

The online assessment is completely free for the patient to undertake and is based on NICE guidelines. It is also integrated with the National Early Warning Score System so triaging a patient's physical data.

• Intelligent and Responsive System

The platform only asks questions depending on the answers given by the patient. Questions are also illustrated with images, photographs and there is even scope for video to facilitate the process.

• No time-constraints, No hidden charges

Patients are treated within 1 hour from 8 am to 10 pm a full 7 days per week. The patient can take as long as they wish to answer all the questions.

• Continuity of Care

If the patient provides answers which suggest they are better treated by their GP in person, or need to visit A&E, then the system stops the assessment and gives them free tailored advice in real-time.

• Detailed Care Plans

We offer detailed management plans for patient conditions which are far more informative than standard consultation advice. We cover disease aetiology, conservative treatments and even drug side effects. We also share the assessment results with the patient's own doctor ensuring the accurate flow of information between care providers.

• Pharmacy Independence and Flexibility.

We are set up to allow the patient access to any chemist to collect their medication, 95% of whom do so within an hour.

With a small team of just 15 doctors, we have the capacity to prescribe for 1 million patients per year and so the process is scalable and efficient.

By directing patients to a well-governed online service, there is the opportunity to improve patient education and self-treatment. Prescribing is also more likely to be inline with the Target Antibiotic Toolkit resulting in improved national outcomes and effective treatment for the patient.

We believe i-GP offers the highest level of clinical care at the most affordable price.
