See a GP from Home, Using Your Phone
3Sixty Care Partnership GP surgeries in Corby, Kettering and Rushden have introduced a new service that allows patients to see a GP online over a secure video link conveniently from the comfort of their own home. This might be particularly useful if you find it difficult to get to the surgery for whatever reason, or have caring responsibilities.
The Q-Doctor service allows patients to have a consultation with a GP, using their smartphone, tablet device or PC. This service is available in Corby Monday to Friday 6.30 pm – 7.30 pm, Kettering on Sunday from 1.30 pm – 5.00 pm and in Rushden on Sunday 8.00 am – 12.00 noon, and appointments can be booked, subject to availability, in a few simple steps:
- Ring your surgery as normal to ask for a Q-Doctor appointment in the Extended Access Hub. The receptionist will ask you a few questions to check that your problem isn’t something that needs to be seen urgently, or by a doctor face-to-face. You will then be given a Q-Doctor appointment code and your appointment time
- Visit the QDoctor website to complete a short registration and sign up process
- If using a PC or laptop, go to www.qdoctor.io enter the code and book your appointment at the time given to you by the receptionist
- If using a smartphone or tablet device, go to the itunes or android app store to download the app, enter the code and book your appointment at the time give to you by the receptionist
- Ensure you are logged on to QDoctor a few minutes before your appointment time and wait for the GP to start your consultation
