"Push Doctor is the leading light in online GP consultations, providing video appointments with NHS-trained GPs to patients across the UK. Patients can book an appointment online,  by contacting their surgery, or through the app, and be seen wherever they feel comfortable, whenever suits them. The Push Doctor platform is already live in a number of NHS surgeries across the UK – presenting an all new way for patients to see a doctor without having to attend the surgery. Push Doctor's platform is an additional part of the NHS service available at the surgery. It is completely free and there is no need for patients to de-register from their regular GP in order to use the service"
