Prescriptions
Yes, our GPs can issue private prescriptions if they deem in appropriate and within our prescribing protocols and in the jurisdictions where possible.
We’re a private service and not part of the Public/National Health Service so our doctors cannot issue this type of prescriptions. This means you will pay the cost price of the medicine at your chosen pharmacy.
We can issue a private electronic prescription (subject to clinical judgement and where possible according to the jurisdiction) which you can take to any participating pharmacy.
Some medications are not suitable for prescribing via an online clinical service. These include controlled drugs like diazepam, strong painkillers, sleeping pills and drugs that require close monitoring through a regular GP.
As we don’t have access to your regular GP notes and history, we need to be careful about what we prescribe. In some circumstances, we may need to ask you for additional information before we can issue a prescription. Our GPs will only prescribe medication, including antibiotics, if they can do so safely.
We are not a replacement for your regular GP and do not have access to your complete medical history. For those reasons, we can’t issue ongoing repeat prescriptions for long term conditions. These are much better managed by your regular doctor who can examine you in person.
We may be able to issue a single “bridging” prescription for some conditions. If you want to request a short-term course of a repeat medication, please upload photographic evidence that you have been prescribed that medication before when you book your appointment.
We understand how important it is to receive your medication quickly and conveniently. In Singapore, we offer pharmacy delivery through our third-party partner, WellAway.
Here’s how it works:

Referrals

There is no charge from the service. However, if you do not have private medical insurance, you will be charged for the consultation and any investigation by the specialist.
Yes. There are no limits on the number of referrals a GP can issue, so long as they are clinically appropriate.
SICK NOTES/ MEDICAL CERTIFICATE
You can request a sick note/ MC during your GP consultation. The sick note can be emailed to you when your consultation notes have been completed by the GP.
Sick notes are issued at the discretion of the consulting GP and only when clinically appropriate, and according to the local health regulations where the consultation took place. There is no charge for issuing a sick note.
Sick notes are limited to a maximum of 7 days and cannot be back-dated. If you need to be signed off longer, we recommend you should see your GP for an in-person examination.
We do not offer fit notes. Fit notes are to certify a patient is fit enough to carry out a given activity, e.g. return to work, fly, run the marathon. This often requires an in-person examination and is best done by the GP face to face.
