Life can be tough on our health. So we’ve made talking to a doctor easy with our online GP appointments

The LloydsPharmacy VideoGP service will be closing on 31st December 2023. Please read our updated terms and conditions here.  

Please note if you are a Post Office, SMART, Cover Today or British Seniors policyholder your VideoGP services will continue with a new supplier. 

LloydsPharmacy stores have now all been sold to new owners and we are therefore unable to offer dispensing of medication in the way we previously could. 

We will no longer provide VideoGP services from midnight on 31st December 2023. If you have an annual or monthly subscription, your subscription will be cancelled between 18th– 22nd December. You will still be able to book and pay for a one-off consultation until 31st December.

When your subscription is cancelled, you will receive a pro-rata refund directly to your original payment card. 

If you have interacted with our service, we can deactivate your record and cease processing your data. We will not be able to delete your Patient Record, until the mandatory minimum retention period has passed. To request deactivation, please send a message via your Patient Record. 

If you’ve never interacted with our service, you can request to permanently delete your account. To request deletion, please send a message via your Patient Record.

No, your appointments notes will not be automatically sent to your NHS GP. You should copy your appointment summaries and download any referral letters or fit notes from the app by 31st December 2023 so that you can maintain your own records. 

Your consultation summaries are available in the Appointment Summary section of the app.

You can download your fit notes and referral letters by selecting them from the Appointment Summary in the app and selecting ‘save to files’.  

If your interaction with our service includes communications with and/or decisions from our doctors, your online Patient Record is by law a medical record. We must retain it for a minimum period of 10 years as specified by relevant medical-related law and industry guidance such as The Records Management Code of Practice for Health & Social Care 2021.

4. Book an appointment and pay for your one-off appointment. 

You book your appointment in the app. Simply log in and click the green button ‘Book for peace of mind’. You’ll then be taken through the steps to book your preferred time, GP and reason for your appointment.

VideoGP service is open for appointments seven days a week, 8am-8pm. 

Appointments are 10 minutes.

If you're prescribed medication by the GP, you can choose to have it delivered the next day or pick it up at any UK pharmacy.

Once you've received your prescription from the GP, you’ll be able to arrange delivery or collection.

No, our doctors can only talk to the person who has created the account. At the moment we can only treat adults aged 18 and over.  

A full price one-off appointment costs £49.99, this will include any fit notes and referrals if needed. 

If you're prescribed medication, this comes at an additional cost.

VideoGP is not part of the NHS.

We’ll only share information with your GP if you want us to. You can change your preferences for this by sending our Patient Advisory team a message in your Patient Record. You can access your Patient Record in the Online Doctor website, and you can use the same login information as in the app.

Are there any exceptions?
Sometimes our doctors might decide that they need to let your GP know about a treatment we’re giving you. But they’ll always let you know when they do this and talk to you about it during your appointment.
