GP Consultations With HealthHero

We all want to be able to enjoy our well-earned trip away to the full, without any mishaps or discomfort. Home can feel a long way away if we’re feeling under the weather or anxious in case a minor medical problem, develops into something more serious.

This is where the GP telephone and video consultation service through HealthHero Solutions Ltd (HealthHero) comes in.

The service helps provide the reassurance you need and the professional medical advice to follow while you’re travelleing abroad. You’ll be able to arrange a consultation with a UK GP, who is registered with the General Medical Council and that works in the NHS. A link to this app is automatically sent with your confirmation email when you buy your insurance.
