GP 24/7 Helpline

Our GP 24/7 Helpline provides access to a GP 24 hours a day, seven days a week for help and advice for you and your immediate family. When you call us, we’ll make an appointment for a GP to call you or a family member back.

How to book a GP appointment

Always with you from day one

This service is available straight away

What's included

You can call our GP 24/7 Helpline to book an appointment for a telephone or video call with a GP for yourself or your immediate family (whether they're members or not)
If appropriate, our GPs can prescribe some medications over the telephone. These costs are not covered by your membership – they are private prescriptions and separate charges apply for the cost of medication and delivery which you'll pay directly to the pharmacy. Your prescription can either be collected from a local pharmacy or medication delivered directly to you the next working day

What's excluded

The GP 24/7 Helpline cannot provide a referral that members can use to access any other Benenden Healthcare services.
The service is not designed to provide ongoing treatment, repeat prescriptions or investigations.
We're unable to provide prescriptions outside of the UK and the cost of any prescriptions is not covered by your membership
