eConsult Health Limited Reviews 

Using eConsult was an efficient use of my time and of the GP Practice.
I received a response within 5 hours of completing the online form on day 1. I had a face-to-face appointment at the Practice the following morning. The outcome of that appointment was a prescription was able to be fulfilled on day 2 and I was seen in hospital outpatient clinic on day 3 following referral under the 2 week urgent pathway rule.

This time I couldn't even find my GP practice in the opening window! The questionnaire is full of irrelevant questions. We need to be able to access helpful human beings! And then when I tried to put in the date of the review, it wouldn't let me... Something wrong somewhere!

Having to ring up & deal with unhelpful & stressed staff was bad enough for my anxiety, I can't even begin to fill in a form about my illness & describe my problems, the experience brought me to tears & a panic attack. I need a human being that I trust to speak to. I have basically been left without access to medical care for the foreseeable future.

Dreadful have to wait 48 hours for medication when you feel dreadful. Many older people can’t use it so don’t go to the doctor

I tried to complete the e consult form on my computer which I had to do several times as it kept crashing before completing. Still didn’t work so I completed it on my phone eventually and it went through. I was told I would receive a phone call from doctors within 48 hours and it’s now been 72 hours and still nothing. Waste of time

This application is cumbersome, not user friendly and totally impractical. The questions asked are repetitive and quite often do not relate at all to the original request.

I wouldn't even give this facility one star. I completed an e consult form this morning. I didn't hear anything then the receptionist at surgery completed e consult on my behalf at lunch time. I still have not heard anything!
Tried to lodge another e consult but surgery is not accept anything until tomorrow morning. Appalling service. Why fix the old system when it was not broken?

Where to star... eConsult is B******t!!, but look at the state of our rotten rat infested s******le country, being run by CRIMINALS. The NHS is in tatters Trying to get an apointment with a ""DOCTOR"" i never realised that you need to dig a hole and cover it with leaves,
Econsult is not a service just the same as the NHS is not a service, but what do you expect from a bunch of rotten to the core CRIMMINALS, no honour amoungst Thief's Thief's and LIARS just like their Government handlers

Absolutely terrible system. Almost impossible to navigate. When did we vote in a party that explicitly made the implementation of private companies into our NHS a stated aim in their manifesto?

I had to phone up in the end, and was thus put in a 20 minute queue, and finally told that there was no appointments.

Remember the state of the NHS, and the use of these outsourced companies is a political decision. It wasn't that long ago that you could see a GP the same day.

Is this new system really efficient? Another Post-Office scandal coming our way!

Disgrace.

Unbelievable! I worked over 40 years in IT and I have never before seen such an awful application. It takes you round and round in circles seemingly without achieving anything. If you were unknowingly seriously ill you could be in real trouble trying to use this. I gave up in disgust!

I’m ok with digital things but this daft app sent me round in circles and I ended up getting nowhere. I just wanted an alternative BP medication because the one prescribed caused my calves and feet to swell. I would be nice just to talk about it with any GP in the practice.

This is a DISGRACE, something should be done about this. I'm in my 40s and can't figure out the riddle, so what chance do those who are unfamiliar with the virtual world have of using this!! Needless to say someone in parliament is a silent partner (via various offshore accounts) in the holding company 🙄

The positive reviews are clearly fake, as e-consult is a DISGRACE

I was very uneasy asking for help via a third party for very personal problems and spent a long time completing a repetitive nonsensical form only for a secretary to call back to further discuss my problems. I shall never use this system again. It's obviously not confidential. I don't want to talk to secretary's or reception staff about my health problems.

entered my local surgery looking for e consult and got lots of irrelevant places but not the one I looked for

Used econsult I received email with info to go to see pharmacist. Pharmacist could help called emergency dental line. No appointments adviced to call 111. 111 adviced to call dental hospital or go to GP. GP lost their emphaty because they don't see patients anymore they don't event speak through phone. Dealing with NHS gives to so much anxiety and doesn't help with wellbeing. NHS should help but system is harms people.

Regardless of what you enter into their badly executed and repetitious questionnaire, at the end 100% of the time it will say it can't help and that you need to explore other avenues... total waste of everyone's time.

At least 6 times ive filled out this form and not once had a call back from my doctors. Finally got through to my doctors said i wanted to complain, they say i have to complain directly to econsult. Absolute joke!

Just had to use eConsult system, after answering lots of repetitive questions and getting nowhere. It told me to ring the surgery, who told me to go back onto eConsult. This is a nightmare, please stop forcing Patients to use this useless system. As all that will happen is people will avoid trying to see a Doctor, until they get really sick, when then might be to late.

A dangerous idea especially for the elderly. It was bad enough doing phone consultations but this is even more remote. They will replace doctors with robots in the near future

Useless. Won’t even find my surgery. Better off the old way sitting on the phone for 30 mins listening to looping classical music
