Royal College of General Practitioners -
This guidance provides a list of questions for patients, GPs and commissioners to consider before using or utilising online general practice services. These are all questions patients should ask themselves if they are considering using an online provider of GP consultations, either web-based or via a smartphone app. The guidance also recommends that patients ensure the service has been inspected by the Care Quality Commission, or equivalent bodies outside of England; look into how their personal information will be kept safe; and consider whether it is providing a free NHS service, or if a fee will be required.
