What is eConsult?
eConsult is a digital triage and online consultation platform that allows NHS GP practices to better understand the needs of their patients. By collecting rich, safe and structured patient information, patients can be better supported to get the right care at the right time and in the right place.
Patients are also encouraged to check their symptoms, find verified NHS self-help information and find appropriate local or self-referral services, or submit consultations for their dependents.
Designed by NHS GPs to enhance patient access, improve practice efficiencies and empower practices to support their patients effectively, within single practices or at a federated working scale.

What are online consultations?
An online consultation enables you to contact a GP or other health professional over the internet. It saves you waiting for an appointment or going to the GP surgery. You can tell your GP about your health using a smartphone, tablet or computer. The type of online consultation you have depends on your GP surgery.
