How do I obtain treatment?

Once you have read the information about your condition, you simply submit a form which is reviewed by a UK doctor. The doctor then emails you back with a link that allows you to proceed with obtaining treatment on HealthExpress. By clicking on the link, you can provide payment details and complete your order.

Is the service legal?

Yes. The medical consultation process and diagnosis is completely free and without obligation. Any websites offering direct prescription medications are illegal, and websites that market any prescription drugs are also illegal in the UK. At HealthExpress.co.uk, we provides clear consumer rights information and explain the privacy policy fully.

How do I know that the doctor is genuine?

When the doctor emails back a diagnosis, full contact details are provided together with GMC registration details which can be verified online.

Answers from genuine doctorsDo I still need to visit my doctor?

For the vast majority of cases, most of the questions covered by the medical form are more than sufficient to make an effective diagnosis. However, it is always advised that you consult your own doctor before commencing any line of treatment. The online doctor can notify your doctor of any diagnosis and treatment issued at your request.

Where a prescription medication is prescribed, is it genuine?

Yes. All of the medications are genuine branded medicines, carrying the original manufacturers' stickers and hallmarks, they are dispensed subject to prescription by a qualified pharmacist under authority.
