Children’s illnesses — careful online GP advice
Parents often need a sensible second look without dragging a poorly child across town. A Medical Council–registered GP can advise by video when it is safe — and will not pretend a camera replaces every examination.
- Parent stays on the call
- Clear safety-net advice
- School notes where appropriate
- Urgent signs flagged honestly
Do not wait for a routine booking if
Your child is floppy, struggling to breathe, has a non-blanching rash, is not drinking, or you are seriously worried — seek urgent or emergency care.
Frequently asked questions
- What age can you see?
- Many childhood concerns can be discussed by video with a parent present. Very young infants with fever often need prompt in-person assessment.
