Pharmacy2U launches new same-day medical letter service

Pharmacy2U has launched a new same-day medical letter service, offering patients 24/7 access to time sensitive documentation such as fit-to-fly certificates; just in time for the winter holiday season. 

Pharmacy2U’s new offering, which covers a wide range of use cases, including medical absence and recovery letters, as well as fit-to-fly certificates, asks patients to complete a short questionnaire and upload a 30 second video of their symptoms. The information is reviewed by a GMC-registered doctor, who will then issue an appropriate letter, certificate or referral the same day, by text and by email.  

Patients can now get faster access to:  

  • Sickness letters (e.g. work and university sickness, injury confirmation, and event cancellation letters and certificates)  

  • Travel and holiday letters (e.g. fit-to-fly, holiday cancellation, and visa medical certificates)   

  • General referrals (e.g. GP referral letters, and allergy certificates)   

  • Recovery certificates (e.g. chickenpox recovery, fit-to-fly, and fit-to-work certificates)  

Pharmacy2U has partnered with ZoomDoc to develop the new hassle-free service, available to customers 24/7 all 365 days of the year, with prices starting from £35. 

Kevin Heath, CEO at Pharmacy2U says: “We are delighted to launch our same day Medical Letters service. Our patients now have access to a wide range of GP approved medical documentation through Pharmacy2u.co.uk. Often, when you need a letter from a doctor, you need it in a hurry, and preferably without having to pay a visit to the GP. This service will simplify the whole process for patients, while also releasing an administrative burden for GPs and the NHS. It’s another small step towards our goal to provide greater access to exceptional healthcare.” 

Dr Kenny Livingstone, CEO and Chief Medical Officer at ZoomDoc says: “This exciting collaboration is all about empowering patients, alleviating the strain on the NHS, and making same-day medical letters accessible to all. It's more than just a partnership; it's a prescription for convenience, offered with care by Pharmacy2U Medical Letters and our team of excellent GMC doctors at ZoomDoc Health.”
