VitalityHealth has launched a new Vitality GP service which it claims transforms the health insurer’s capability to deliver primary care benefits for its members.
VitalityHealth is offering and funding three choices of GP access for every member – face-to-face, video-call and 24-hour phone advice.

The service will be delivered through an enhanced Vitality GP app, which is an evolution from a telemedicine solution to a full ‘clinic in your pocket’ experience.
The app will provide members with access to various types of care and advice. Members will be able to self-refer for Priority Physio services, directly access mental health support and source a range of trusted information and advice.
The app is delivered by Square Health, a health-tech and healthcare provider and one of the UK’s largest telemedicine providers.
Vitality GP is positioned at the centre of Vitality’s private healthcare offering, enabling GPs to refer patients for minor diagnostic tests, prescribe medication and make referrals into consultant care without the need for an NHS referral.
