Had my first GP appointment with a Dr today who I could hardly hear and it turned out to be a complete waste of my time as every question I asked he was not prepared to offer any opinion as he said he does not have access to my medical records. This was a surprise to me. I natively assumed Benenden Health do this in the background as I am now thinking whatever health issue you call in with surely the scenario would be the same ??? What is the point t of the GP service ?? I can only assume it is for a GP to prescribe anti biotics in sn emergency.

Hi James, thank you for sharing this feedback with us regarding our 24/7 GP service, we're sorry you didn't have a great experience.
The service is very helpful for members who need advice for a new health issue, or if you need a prescription. The 24/7 access also allows members to gain healthcare advice at any time of day or night, which provides peace of mind in those stressful situations. We do recommend booking an appointment with your local GP for an ongoing health concern, as they have your medical records to hand. Also, if you need a physical examination, as our 24/7 GP is either a video or phone call.
Best wishes, Benenden Health.
