Medical Solutions, a private provider of remote GP services, has partnered with travel insurance specialist tifgroup to provide its customers with UK-based GP services while abroad.
Following a six-month pilot with tifgroup’s Alpha Travel Insurance and Holidaysafe brands, the service will be rolled out across other tifgroup brands, including Get Going, Insurancewith and Postcard.
Under the partnership, tifgroup’s customers will have access to medical advice from a UK-based doctor for non-urgent health issues and medical advice. Consultations will be available 24/7 via phone and video.
‘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,’ said Paul Nattrass, commercial director at Medical Solutions. ‘Our partnership fits perfectly with tifgroup’s philosophy of doing what’s in the best interest of its customers, alongside our goal of ensuring people can get the right medical advice and support at the right time, wherever they are in the world.’
Steve Howard, head of product at tifgroup, added: ‘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. We always put the needs of our customers first, which is why this partnership is the perfect fit.’
