Review summary

Created with AI, based on recent reviews

Evaluating 38 reviews, most reviewers were unhappy with their experience overall. People find it extremely difficult to book appointments, often facing long waiting times and a frustrating triage system that prevents them from seeing actual doctors. Consumers also mentioned that communication and administrative support are severely lacking, leading to unmanaged medical referrals and mishandled test results. Many customers felt ignored by the service and described encounters with unhelpful or rude reception staff. The minority of people were satisfied with the care received from specific medical staff members. Reviewers appreciated receiving polite, professional, and prompt attention for urgent prescriptions or specific health concerns.

I've experienced two doctor appointments with this practice over the last couple weeks. On both instances it was obvious that they could care a less about me and I had to jump through a lot of unneces... See more

They used to be really good when they were Babylon, but since the change over and new triage system the patient care is non existent. The triage system is clunky and has only a very few, pre-set optio... See more

It would be a good start if GP at Hand allowed you to book an appointment with an actual GP. It doesn't allow this. You end up wasting time having to first have an appointment with nurse practitioners... See more

Absolute waste of time. WON’T prescribe any acute medicines but ALSO WON’T prescribe any repeat medications. Literally just had the ‘customer service’ woman at AXA say their only function is ‘to refer... See more

I had a great experience with my recent consultation through eMed with NHS GP at Hand. The process was smooth, and I appreciated how easy it was to book an appointment online. My GP was attentive, professional, and took the time to understand my concerns thoroughly. The consultation felt personal, and I came away with a clear treatment plan and follow-up steps. This service makes accessing quality healthcare so much easier and more convenient. Highly recommended!

I spoke with Robert Nelson

I spoke with Robert Nelson. He was really helpful and had thoughtful responses. Went out his way to help and provide reassurance and support for me in a tough time.

Used to be good, now bad

It took a week to get an appointment, I had 2 things to discuss, but was told I was out of time so had to make another appointment (have to wait another week for that!)

The places for tests are only central (not the local hospital literally 10 mins walking distance away), so I have to travel for 1.5 hours to get a test, so in total 4 hours of my day

I was referend to a hospital, again it's 1.5 hours journey time, no space for parking, so a total of 5 hours just for a check up

Too long waiting time

I had to wait for this appointment for 3 weeks. The GP was then half an hour late. This is not what an online health service should be like and definitely not what this company was like several years ago. I’m considering going back to a standard GP practice as this online company doesn’t give you the advantages it used to provide.

Do not recommend

Same experience as other recent reviews. Unlike before, you now have to wait like 3 weeks to be able to even speak to a GP on the phone and it's impossible to get a face to face appointment. Also the wait to speak on the chat with them today was an hour long and over an hour on hold on the phone. I have to get blood tests every year and unlike before, if you're in London, they now only give you 4 location options that are mostly near central so I for example have to travel over an hour to get a simple routine blood test. Will not be using them anymore and do not recommend to anyone.

Had to rearrange my original appointment time, did this in the app without any problems. Phone call was on time for when I had chosen it and Doctor was friendly and informative. Very good service.

Use to be good but were bought out by eMed and now it’s awful. Can’t get any appointments or speak to a human. Been referred to my GP by the hospital and letters have been sent to the GP but I can’t get hold of them for an appointment. On the app it’s months away
