NHG has become Aviva Health’s strategic provider of digital GP services, offering customers access to NHS qualified GPs via an Aviva branded mobile app, Aviva Digital GP. The app allows customers to book video consultations with a GP, receive remote diagnoses and obtain advice on simpler medical queries directly from a GP via a live chat facility. The app will be rolled out more widely to Aviva customers over time.
Further features of Aviva Digital GP include:
• A choice of whether consultations are with a male or female GP, and customers also have the option of booking consultations with the same doctor each time they use the service.
• A choice of 12 languages, so customers can select their preferred language.
• Customers have access to GPs’ credentials (such as special areas of interest) to help choose a doctor to suit their needs.
• Access to a UK-wide pharmacy network offering a next-day prescription delivery service (or 2-4 hours in central London).
• Medicines delivered directly to customers’ homes, offices or their local pharmacy.
• Repeat prescription top-ups ordered via a GP.
• A broad suite of at-home testing and monitoring kits.
