Imagine a GP service that fits in with your life
Imagine you’re struggling to juggle work and family but can still fit in a GP appointment when it suits you. Imagine you need a prescription for your child before they go on a school trip in 48 hours.
At AXA Health we’ve imagined it all. It’s why we developed our AXA Doctor at Hand service powered by Doctor Care Anywhere.
With AXA Doctor at Hand, appointments by video or phone are available 24 hours a day, seven days a week, 365 days a year. GPs are available 24/7.1
Advanced Nurse Practitioners are available from 8am – 10pm (subject to availability)
How AXA Doctor at Hand works
Appointments anytime
Booking is easy. Just go online or use the AXA Doctor at Hand app. Appointments are usually available within a day. There's no waiting for the surgery to open. And there's no hanging on the phone for an appointment.1
Hand-picked GPs and Advanced Nurse Practitioners
Video or phone appointments are with fully qualified, experienced healthcare professionals, hand-picked by Doctor Care Anywhere. You can choose the person you want to see and get to know them, just like at your local practice.
Prescriptions made easy
If the clinician thinks a prescription could help, it will be uploaded to your account straight after your appointment. AXA Doctor at Hand can organise prescriptions to be delivered straight to your home, office, or a local chemist if it’s easier. Prescriptions are only available in the UK.2
Fast, connected healthcare
If something needs looking into, the GP or Advanced Nurse Practitioner can recommend some diagnostic tests or scans – you might not need to see a consultant first. And they’ll liaise with us directly so we can authorise what you need, without you having to ring us. When the results are in, your GP or Advanced Nurse Practitioner will go through them with you over the phone or by video call.3 If it’s recommended that you need to see a specialist, we’ll be able to book a consultation for you.4
Medical records at a touch
Your secure patient record lets you track and download your notes, scans and test results. Your medical notes and scans can also be sent securely to your NHS GP, to make sure everyone’s in the loop.
Here’s how your information is kept safe
The security and confidentiality of your AXA Doctor at Hand consultation is an absolute priority for AXA Health and Doctor Care Anywhere (DCA). Here’s how your private information is kept safe:
- Your consultation is completely confidential and bound by the levels of patient confidentiality you’d expect with medical appointments
- The website and app use the latest security technologies to keep your information secure
- Regular testing of the advanced encryption systems ensures there are no weaknesses in the platform and no unauthorised parties can access confidential data
- DCA work with the authorities who oversee information governance in the NHS to ensure the platform meets NHS standards
- Voice and video data is fully encrypted
- Consultations are recorded and stored securely as part of your patient record, to ensure the DCA service is delivered safely and as a record of the conversation
