iPlato, the creator of myGP, the software used to support a digital first primary care has partnered with online GP service provider GPDQ.
The partnership means GP practices using myGP can increase their capacity when needed and utilise the GPDQ medical team for patient video consultations.
A team of remote doctors, pharmacists and nurses will be available through the platform to support healthcare providers deliver consultations online when needed.
GPDQ was launched in 2015 by GP and NHS partner Dr Anshumen Bhagat to provide NHS and private patients with appointments online or through home visits. The service provides GP consultations, physiotherapy, mental health, audiology, health checks, blood tests, referrals, prescriptions and vaccinations nationwide.
Professor Mike Lewis, Chairman at iPLATO Healthcare said “We know that many practices are operating beyond capacity due to illness and GPs and the primary care workforce heading into isolation. By offering additional shared resource to a group of practices we can help to relieve pressure and patients can continue to receive the vital care that they need from the safety of their homes.”
Dr Anshumen Bhagat, Chief Medical Officer at GPDQ “GPs have an innate sense of responsibility for their patients’ health and will always want to see and help as many patients as they can. We naturally want to do everything in our power to help.”
“By fusing the myGP platform with a national team of passionate, digitally-connected clinicians we can get GPs, nurses and pharmacists in front of the patients who need them most, when they need them, without delay.”
