'Push Doctor' is an app that schedules virtual doctor visits for its members.
This app allows users access to a network of thousands of GPs and connects clients to doctors with a video call. The app charges people in the UK £20 for a 10-minute consultation or £20 for a monthly unlimited access membership. Users are able to open the app or visit the website, schedule an appointment with a doctor and within minutes, have a 10-minute video consultation. Healthcare professionals on Push Doctor are even able to write prescriptions or sick notes for users.
This service is especially great for new parents who may have health questions or concerns regarding their new child, but don't have enough time to schedule an in-person appointment for smaller concerns. Virtual doctor visits also help to streamline healthcare by eliminating lesser concerns from the system.
