Specialist travel insurer, Tifgroup, has partnered with Medical Solutions to provide travellers with remote access to UK-based GP services.

Customers will have unlimited access to free medical advice from a UK-based doctor in case of a non-urgent health issue or need of some medical advice while on holiday or travelling overseas.

GP consultations are available 24/7 via phone or video. Appointments can be made via an app or by calling the healthcare service provider’s customer services team.

Head of product at Tifgroup, Steve Howard said: “At Tifgroup we understand that the last thing anyone wants on holiday is to be sitting in a hospital waiting room, wasting precious holiday time, as they wait to be seen by a doctor.

“That’s why we’re thrilled to partner with Medical Solutions UK and be able to offer our customers a service that allows them to contact a GP at the touch of a button, helping them to feel safe and supported while travelling,” he added.

Commercial director at Medical Solutions, Paul Nattrass said: “Travelling in unfamiliar environments can be stressful for people in need of medical advice, which is why we are delighted to be able to offer access to prompt, high-quality medical advice for Tifgroup customers.”

The announcement follows a pilot of the service.
