Online GP Without an App: See a Doctor From Your Browser

You do not need to download an app to see a GP online. The Online GP by The Wellness runs entirely in your browser: book a phone or video consultation with a GMC-registered doctor, subject to availability. Prescriptions, sick notes and referrals depend on clinical assessment. Phone consultations cost £59 for 15 minutes and video consultations are from £150. Confirm in-person fees, any separate charges and document timing before booking.

Why patients look for a no-app online GP

Most large telehealth providers in the UK require their own app. Patients look for an app-free alternative for practical reasons:

  • One-off need. If you need a doctor once, installing and registering an app is friction you do not need.

  • Work devices. Many people cannot install health apps on a managed phone or laptop.

  • Storage and privacy. Health apps request permissions and hold data; a browser session keeps things simple.

  • Speed. Web booking means choosing a time and entering your details, with no account software in between.

How it works

  1. Book online. Choose phone or video and check the available times in your browser.

  2. Speak to the doctor. A GMC-registered doctor calls you or joins you on video at the appointed time.

  3. Get your outcome. Prescriptions, sick notes and referrals depend on clinical assessment, with timing confirmed before booking.

  4. Step up if needed. If your problem needs examination, blood tests or imaging, you can be booked into our clinic at 10 Portman Square, London - subject to availability.

What a no-app online GP can handle

Phone and video consultations cover the problems where the diagnosis does not depend on physical examination: new symptoms and advice, repeat prescriptions, sick notes, referrals, skin concerns that show clearly on camera, mental health check-ins, sexual health advice, and follow-ups. Where examination matters, the honest answer is an in-person appointment - and unlike app-only services, we can provide it in the same practice.

What it costs

  • Phone consultation (15 minutes): £59

  • Video consultation: from £150

  • In-person appointment at 10 Portman Square: fees confirmed before booking

Confirm the total fee, inclusions and any separate charges before booking. Pharmacy charges for medicines are separate.

Frequently asked questions

Is a browser consultation as good as an app consultation? The consultation is the same: a GMC-registered doctor, by phone or video. The app is only the wrapper.

Do I need to create an account? Booking takes your details once, online. There is no separate app account to set up or maintain.

Can I get a prescription without an app? Yes, where clinically appropriate. Prescriptions, sick notes and letters depend on clinical assessment, with any separate fee and timing confirmed before booking.

Is the service regulated? Consultations are with GMC-registered doctors, and care is delivered from our CQC-registered London clinic.

What if my problem needs an examination? You can be booked into our Marylebone clinic at 10 Portman Square, with blood tests and imaging on site.
