AXA Doctor at Hand
Imagine after a long day making big decisions for your business, you get home late and can still have that GP appointment you need. Imagine there’s a bug going around at work but your team have an important deadline to meet and can’t leave the office. Imagine you need a prescription ahead of your business trip to New York in 48 hours.
At AXA Health we’ve imagined it all. That's why we're giving your SME clients unlimited access to AXA Doctor at Hand, our online, private GP service, powered by Doctor Care Anywhere.*
From a choice of appointments with GPs or Advanced Nurse Practitioners for advice, prescriptions, tests or eligible referrals3, AXA Doctor at Hand takes care of things seamlessly.
How it works
Convenient video or phone appointments
Just book an appointment online or through the app and your clients could be talking to a doctor or an Advanced Nurse Practitioner within hours1. They'll have 20 minutes to chat by video or phone from wherever’s convenient for them. Plus Doctor Care Anywhere doctors are highly experienced and registered with the General Medical Council.
24/7 GP access
Your clients can talk to a GP online 24 hours a day, seven days a week, 365 days a year (subject to availability). Advanced Nurse Practitioner appointments are available between the hours of 8am - 10pm. Everyone can now fit appointments around their work. And when their employees can sort out their medical worries quickly, they’ll be healthier, happier and more productive.
Everything from diagnosis to referrals
Doctor Care Anywhere doctors and Advanced Nurse Practitioners are able to diagnose any problems your clients may have2 and recommend treatment. They can also arrange referrals to specialists, and may also be able to refer you for diagnostic tests for some conditions. If something needs looking into, the GP can refer them for some tests and scans3, without them needing to see a consultant first. Prescriptions can also be delivered to their door or chosen pharmacy4.
Prescriptions made easy
If your client needs a prescription, they can be delivered to their home, office or chosen pharmacy4.
Everything your team needs
Everything your client needs is in one place, from booking an appointment and seeing a GP when it suits them, to having a specialist referral sent straight to our Fast Track Appointments team (your clients will need to include an out-patient option in their plan for the consultation to be covered). And Doctor Care Anywhere can share information with their regular GP, so they’re updated after each appointment.
Home or abroad
When your client needs medical advance on holiday or abroad, they can get the reassurance they need to feel better. GP appointments are available when in the UK, or can be used for medical advice when abroad.
