We are pleased to announce the launch of QuickConsult, a new healthcare service provided to our Income Protection members as an additional Nuffield Health Benefit.

What is QuickConsult?

QuickConsult is an extension of the Nuffield Health 24/7 Virtual GP service that is currently available to our Income Protection members. Included as part of our Enhanced Benefits package, QuickConsult provides professional healthcare while removing the need for a GP appointment.

How it works

With just a few taps in the Nuffield Health app, your clients can answer a set of guided questions about their health, which is then reviewed by real clinicians who can prescribe the right course of treatment or professional medical advice. The service covers a number of health concerns, with more to be added, including:

• Acne
• Asthma
• Bacterial vaginosis
• Bites and stings
• Coldsores
• Contraception
• Delay period
• Ear infection
• Eczema
• Erectile Dysfunction
• Hayfever
• Hives
• IBS
• Migraine
• Nail infection
• Period pain relief
• Psoriasis
• Rosacea
• Sinusitis
• UTI

Easier access to healthcare for your clients

With the NHS under continued strain, and waiting times for NHS GP appointments getting longer, QuickConsult can provide an even quicker route to healthcare, all without the need for a doctor’s appointment.

Shepherds Friendly Income Protection members will still have free, unlimited access to the Virtual GP service and, in the event that the QuickConsult service is not suitable for a given issue, a clinician can refer them to a GP.

Combined with the Nuffield Health 24/7 Virtual GP service, it has never been easier for Shepherds Friendly members to get the healthcare they need.
