  • Primary care and urgent care consultations start from 20 GBP. Each doctor sets their own fee for your request, and you see the exact figure before you confirm.
  • A prescription by email where it is clinically appropriate, included in the consultation fee. It can only be dispensed in the country where your doctor is licensed.
  • Seven days of follow up messaging with the same doctor who saw you, at no extra cost.

Time Medics is not an emergency service

If you have chest pain, difficulty breathing, heavy bleeding, a serious injury or signs of a stroke, contact your local emergency number or go to the nearest emergency department. A video consultation cannot replace hands on emergency care.

How it works

What happens after you press start

  1. Your concern

    Say what is wrong, in your own words

    Plain language, not medical vocabulary. When it started, and what you have already tried.
  2. Location

    Tell us roughly where you are

    So the doctor knows what is available locally, and what a pharmacy near you can dispense.
  3. Your details

    Choose a doctor, then speak by video

    You see each fee and each time before you agree to anything, and you join the call in your browser.

Doctors answer with their own time and their own fee, so how soon you are seen depends on who is available and what they can offer. A request can also expire with no offers at all, and if that happens you are not charged anything.

Before you book

What one consultation includes, and what it costs

The fee changes with the doctor. What you get for it does not.

A video appointment with a licensed doctor
English speaking, at whatever hour you are awake. The doctor takes your history and examines what can be examined on camera.
A diagnosis and a plan you can act on
What is most likely happening, what to do about it now, and the specific signs that mean you should be seen in person instead.
A prescription where it is clinically appropriate
Emailed to you, and included in the consultation fee. It can only be dispensed in the country where your doctor is licensed. These are electronic prescriptions and some pharmacies cannot accept one, so finding a pharmacy that will is up to you. The pharmacy charges for the medicine itself.
Seven days of follow up messaging at no extra cost
With the same doctor, not a shared inbox. Use it if symptoms change or the treatment is not working.
What a consultation costsPrimary and urgent care consultations start from20 GBP

Each doctor sets their own fee for your request, so what you pay depends on the doctor who takes it. You see the exact figure before you accept, and nothing is charged until you do. Your fee covers the consultation and anything you asked for when you made the request, including a prescription if your doctor issues one.

Every clinician on Time Medics is a licensed, English-speaking doctor, and every appointment is held by video rather than through a questionnaire and an anonymous approval. Doctors set their own hours and fees, which is why one is often available even in the early hours.

  • How much does it cost, and when am I charged?

    Primary care and urgent care consultations start from 20 GBP. Each doctor sets their own fee for your request, so the amount depends on who takes it, and you see it before you accept. You are charged when you accept a doctor's offer, and not before. There is no membership and nothing that renews. The fee covers the consultation and anything you asked for in your request, including a prescription. If you need a referral or certificate after your consultation, your doctor quotes for it and nothing is charged until you approve the cost.
  • How soon will a doctor reply?

    Your request goes to the doctors who are online, at any hour and on any day, and most people hear back quickly. It is not guaranteed: a request can expire with no offers at all, and if that happens you are not charged anything.
  • What if a video consultation is not the right answer?

    Some problems cannot be assessed safely on camera. If that is the case the doctor will say so during the call, explain why, and tell you what to ask for from local care instead. Time Medics is not a substitute for a hands on examination when that is what you need.
  • Do I need to create an account first?

    No. You can book as a guest in your browser, and there is no membership or subscription of any kind. You need a device with a camera and an internet connection.
Read the privacy policy and the terms of service before you book if you would rather know exactly what is held, and on what basis.
