But it has real limits — and being clear about those limits is part of being a responsible GP service.A telephone consultation allows a skilled GP to do a great deal — taking a thorough history, giving clinical advice, issuing prescriptions, arranging referrals, reviewing test results, and managing a wide range of conditions. What it cannot do is replace a physical examination. Our GP will always be honest if your situation requires a face-to-face appointment or an urgent in-person assessment — and will tell you clearly if that is the case.

That makes accuracy and completeness more important than ever. An incomplete or inaccurate history can lead to the wrong diagnosis, the wrong treatment, or a missed red flag that could put your health at risk.A telephone consultation removes the physical examination from the clinical picture. That means the history you give your GP — your symptoms, how long you’ve had them, what makes them better or worse, your other health conditions, your medications, your lifestyle, and what you’ve already tried — is the foundation on which every clinical decision is made. Withholding information, minimising symptoms, or telling your GP what you think they want to hear can result in outcomes that are not safe or appropriate for you.Your GP is not there to judge youWhatever has brought you to call us — your lifestyle choices, sensitive symptoms, concerns about stigma, or things you haven’t told anyone else — your GP has heard it before and is not there to judge. The only thing that matters is getting you the right advice and treatment.Doctors are bound by strict confidentiality rules. Nothing you share is passed on without your consent. There are no exceptions to confidentiality in a private consultation unless there is an immediate risk to your life or someone else’s — and even then, you would be informed. Things patients often don’t mention — but should All medicationsIncluding over-the-counter drugs and supplements — drug interactions can be serious and your GP needs the full picture. Alcohol & recreational drug useAffects diagnosis, treatment choices and prescribing safety. Your GP will not report you — this is strictly confidential. True symptom durationHow long symptoms have really been going on — underplaying duration can lead to the wrong clinical assessment. All your symptomsNot just the main reason you called — what seems unrelated to you may be clinically connected. Previous diagnoses & conditionsEven resolved conditions — past medical history shapes current risk and treatment decisions. Mental health & moodAs important as physical symptoms and often connected — never treat it as an afterthought. Allergies & medication reactionsCritical for safe prescribing — never assume the GP already knows from another record. Pregnancy or breastfeedingChanges what can safely be prescribed entirely — always mention this at the start of the call. Embarrassing symptomsNo symptom is too personal or unusual for a GP to hear. The consultation is strictly confidential and your GP will not judge you. The risk of an incomplete historyIf you have been prescribed a medication that interacts dangerously with something you forgot to mention — the prescription is still your doctor’s responsibility, but the harm is yours. If a symptom that seems irrelevant to you is actually a red flag for something serious — and you don’t mention it — it won’t be investigated. A GP on a telephone call can only work with what they’re told. The more accurately and completely you describe your situation, the better the care you will receive. Tell us everything relevantYour GP is not there to judge. They are there to help. The more you share, the better the care. Everything discussed is strictly confidential.

If your question isn’t here, please get in touch before booking. How is this different from an NHS telephone triage? An NHS telephone triage is typically handled by a call handler or nurse practitioner who screens your call to decide whether you need to see a GP. A private telephone consultation at OUR GP is a direct appointment with a GMC-registered GP — not a triage. You get the GP’s undivided attention for the duration of the call, with no time pressure, and outcomes arranged immediately on the same call. There is no intermediary, no screening, and no being told to call back. Can I get a prescription on a telephone call? Yes — if a prescription is clinically appropriate following the consultation, our GP will issue it electronically to any UK pharmacy of your choice on the same day. The prescription fee is included in the consultation charge. The medication cost is paid separately at the pharmacy. Controlled drugs and benzodiazepines cannot be prescribed via telephone consultation. Do I need to be in Dundee to book a telephone appointment? No. Telephone consultations are available to patients anywhere in the UK. You do not need to be in Dundee or Scotland. We can prescribe to any UK pharmacy, arrange referrals, issue fit notes, and provide clinical advice regardless of where you are located at the time of the call. If you are abroad, please contact us in advance as different considerations may apply. Will the GP tell me I need to be seen in person instead? Possibly — and that’s a sign of good clinical practice, not a failing of the service. If our GP determines during your call that a physical examination is clinically necessary to assess your problem safely, they will tell you honestly and recommend a face-to-face appointment either with us or — if urgent — with NHS services. You will not be charged for a consultation that our GP cannot complete appropriately by phone; this would be discussed with you on the call. How long is a telephone consultation? There is no rigid time limit. Private consultations are not subject to the 10-minute constraints of NHS appointments. Most telephone consultations take between 10 and 20 minutes depending on the complexity of the issue. If more time is needed, the GP will take it. If you have multiple concerns to discuss, mention this when booking so we can allocate sufficient time. Will this appear on my NHS medical record? No — by default, your private consultation and any prescriptions issued are not shared with your NHS GP and do not appear on your NHS Summary Care Record. If you would like us to write to your NHS GP with a summary, we can do so at your request. Your records are held securely in our private records system.
