Online GP appointments for busy women
Can busy women use HerDoc for everyday GP care?
Yes. HerDoc is built for women who need GP care to be easier to organise around work, family, caring responsibilities and sensitive symptoms. You can book online, share context before the consult and speak with a GP by phone about everyday, non-emergency concerns.
Why HerDoc can help
For many women, the hard part is fitting care around work, caring responsibilities, privacy, transport or the energy it takes to sit in a waiting room.
HerDoc’s role is to make the path into a GP consult clearer. Care remains doctor-led, with the GP responsible for assessment, advice and clinical decisions.
- Book online
- Share context before the consult
- Speak with a GP
- Get doctor-led next-step advice
Everyday reasons to book
A consult may be useful for common non-emergency symptoms, follow-up questions, certificate requests, medication questions, referrals, blood test questions or sensitive symptoms.
HerDoc is women-first, but everyday GP care includes more than women-specific symptoms.
- Cold and flu symptoms
- UTI or urinary symptoms
- Mild skin irritation
- Medication, certificate, referral or test questions
Doctor-led next steps
The GP may ask about symptoms, history, medicines, allergies, risk factors and what has changed recently.
Your GP will help you understand what can happen online and when local, urgent or in-person care is the better next step.
- Clear questions about your concern
- Doctor-led advice
- Guidance if another pathway is needed

FAQs
Is this only for women's health symptoms?
No. HerDoc is women-first, but everyday GP care may include general symptoms, follow-up questions, prescription questions, certificates, referrals and blood test discussions.
Can I use HerDoc if I am busy at work or caring for family?
You can use HerDoc to organise GP telehealth around work, family or caring responsibilities where phone appointments are available. Availability and wait times can vary.
Will the GP always manage the concern online?
Not always. The GP may provide advice, suggest follow-up, discuss a request or recommend in-person or urgent care if that is safer.
What makes this women-first?
The content, booking pathway and service positioning are designed around women seeking practical, private, everyday GP care, while clinical decisions remain with the treating doctor.
