Speak to your doctor from the comfort of your home

August 7th, 2020

We now offer video consultations!

Pre booked video consultations can now be made with a number of our doctors on the Doxy Me platform.

You can talk to your doctor from the comfort of your own home, at a time that works with your schedule. No need to spend any time or money travelling to and from the centre.

Manage My Health registration is not necessary for these appointments and you will not need to download any software.

When you book your appointment you will be sent a link via text to your smartphone or to you email which will take you to the virtual ‘waiting room’ using a software called Doxy Me.

Other appointment types available

Phone consultations

Phone consultations can be booked with any doctor and made for pre arranged appointment times. When making your appointment, set a time that suits you and your preferred GP to discuss your health concerns, ensure you tell the person booking the appointment that you would like a phone consultation and confirm the best contact number.

Your GP will then call you as close to that time as possible. Make sure you are somewhere private and quiet to take the call.

E-consultations

If you have any non urgent medical issues, you can also use ManageMyHealth’s electronic consultation function. This is where you can send your doctor a secure email through the MMH portal to avoid having to come in for a consultation.  

Face to face consultations

Face to face consultations are now increasingly available. These types of appointments are particularly recommended for when you need a physical examination or simply prefer to come and see your doctor in person.

Prescriptions

Prescriptions can be ordered in the same way as before; by phoning the prescription line, at the front desk and via the Manage My Health online portal.

E-prescriptions are a new and welcome addition. These as emailed directly from the doctor to your chosen pharmacy. You need to advise us of the name of the pharmacy that you would like the prescription sent to.

You receive a text confirmation and there is no paper!

For e-prescriptions and MMH requests you will receive your invoice by email for online payment. 

Manage My Health

We encourage all patients to enrol with MMH. Through this online portal, you can access your notes and results, order prescriptions and contact your doctor directly for an e-consultation.
