Hospitality Action launches Virtual GP Service

Hospitality Action has announced a new Virtual GP service as part of its Employee Assistance Programme (EAP), giving employees fast, flexible access to GP or Advanced Nurse Practitioner appointments anywhere, anytime. 

The new feature follows the successful launch of the charity's enhanced EAP earlier this year, which already provides a suite of wellbeing tools and confidential support services to support hospitality employees. The GP service is extending that support, enabling clients to connect directly with a GP or ANP via a secure app or web portal to access real-time physical and mental healthcare. 

Round-the-clock access
The service is available to employees covered by the Wellbeing Plus and Total Wellbeing packages within the EAP. Whatever the issue, from grief or addiction to financial strain or physical health issues, the instant access means hospitality employees won't be left to cope alone. It can also address everyday health concerns, prescriptions, referral letters and sick notes. 

"Our comprehensive EAP already provides 24/7 access to clinical and critical incident support alongside a wealth of wellbeing resources," said Camilla Woods, services director for Hospitality Action. “The addition of the Virtual Primary Care service takes this to the next level, removing barriers to immediate healthcare and helping hospitality people get the help they need, when they need without travel or waiting rooms.

"At a time when our industry faces significant pressures, investing in an EAP sends a powerful message to employees: that our employers value and care for them not just as workers, but as individuals."
