Imagine having a GP in your pocket. With the WhatsApp GP service from MYTRT’s partner messageGP, you can message an NHS-trained, GMC-registered doctor directly through WhatsApp — no new apps to download, no phone queues, and no missed call-backs. Simply save the number 0330 043 2208 and WhatsApp the word “Begin” when you need a doctor.
Why consult a GP over WhatsApp?
- Skip the queues: avoid unnecessary travel or long waits on the phone.
- Use your WhatsApp: no need to download yet another app.
- No more missed calls: message our GPs as and when you can, around your schedule.
- Video appointment at no extra cost: if your GP feels it is safer, a video call is scheduled for free.
- Secure & confidential: your data security is a priority — the platforms used are safe and encrypted.
Is a WhatsApp GP consultation right for me?
WhatsApp consultations suit busy people who want convenient, asynchronous access to a doctor for common health concerns — infections, skin conditions, allergies, general health questions and more. If your condition needs a closer look, your GP will move you to a video appointment at no extra cost, or advise you if in-person care is more appropriate. In an emergency, always dial 999.
How much does it cost?
A WhatsApp GP consultation costs a flat £49 — the same as a video appointment, with no hidden fees. Prescriptions can be delivered to your door or collected from a local pharmacy, often the same day.
