Dr Tom Bertram, local GP and our Clinical Director for Primary and Local Care, answers a few of the common themes that came up in response to our recent announcement about the extension of routine online GP consultations in this short video. He explains how:

- It offers patients an alternative way to get the appropriate care, which many find helpful and more convenient for non-urgent support
- This isn’t a replacement for face-to-face appointments and how it can benefit all patients.
- More people using online access where appropriate can free up time and improve access for more vulnerable or digitally excluded patients

All GP practices across Hampshire and the Isle of Wight will now provide their routine online consultations from 8.00am to 6.30pm.

The change applies to routine care only and not urgent appointments. A routine problem is something that does not need urgent attention today such as queries about medication, repeat prescriptions, sick notes, or ongoing health issues that can safely wait for a response.

Online GP consultations offer a convenient way for patients to contact their GP practice. They can be used for various reasons, including describing symptoms, getting advice, requesting prescriptions, and managing some conditions.
