Prepare for your consultation

There are a few things you can do before your video appointment starts.

To make sure you have the best possible experience, we recommend you:

  • check you have the latest version of the Vitality GP UK app

  • find somewhere private and quiet to talk

  • check your internet connection is stable

  • charge your battery

  • if you can, use headphones with a microphone

  • turn on notifications to get all your reminders

  • have a pen and paper to hand in case you need to write anything down

  • make sure you know, or have a list of all the medications you’re currently taking, as this may be important

  • make sure you've given permission for the app to access your camera and microphone

  • find a place where you can get a strong 4G, 5G or Wi-Fi signal

Let your GP know if:

  • you’ve had any recent tests or investigations, such as a blood test or x-ray

  • you have any allergies

  • you have any known conditions, such as diabetes
