Is this right for you?

When telehealth may, and may not, suit

Pathology is arranged only where a practitioner considers it clinically appropriate for you. You attend a collection centre in person for any sample, and your practitioner will explain what to expect.

Telehealth may suit you if

  • Everyday concerns that can be talked through by video
  • You have a private space and a device with a camera
  • You want care that works alongside your regular GP

Better seen in person if

  • You need a hands-on physical examination
  • Symptoms that are severe or rapidly worsening
  • You need in-person tests or procedures the same day

Telehealth is not suitable for every health concern. Your practitioner may instead recommend in-person assessment, urgent care, a GP review, a referral to another doctor, further investigation or no treatment.

A prescription, referral or test is one possible outcome, only where your practitioner considers it clinically appropriate.

Results vary from person to person. An assessment does not guarantee any particular outcome.

Why NexaHealth

Your health, in one record.

Your consultations, results and care plan stay in one place. Everyday health, mental wellbeing and healthy ageing, carried forward from one appointment to the next.

When your practitioner refers you for pathology or imaging, your results are gathered securely in one place, so you and your care team can see the full picture.

everyday care to healthy ageing

GP care, mental health, chronic disease, weight and metabolic health, men’s and women’s health, preventive care and healthy ageing. Start with one, and your history moves with you across the rest.

Your care plan
written up · agreed with you

A clear plan, agreed with your practitioner. That may be advice, a referral, ongoing monitoring or a prescription, where clinically appropriate. Everything discussed in your consultation is written up and saved in one place. Follow-up and regular reviews keep the plan current as things change.

Your care plan Agreed with you

Everything from your consultation, kept in one place and updated as your care continues.

Pathology Requests questions

Where do I get the test done?

You take your request form to a pathology collection centre and have your sample taken there in person. Your practitioner will explain what the test involves, whether you need to fast beforehand, and when to expect your results. You can choose whichever collection centre is convenient for you.

Will you order any test I ask for?

No. Tests are requested only where your practitioner considers them clinically appropriate for your circumstances. You are welcome to raise a test you have read about. Your practitioner will talk through what it would show, and whether it answers the question you actually have.

Who explains my pathology results?

Your results go back to the practitioner who requested them. You can book a follow-up consultation to talk through what they mean for you. Results are kept in your record, so the next practitioner you speak with can see them alongside the rest of your history.

Can I get a test without a consultation?

No. Pathology is requested only after a live video consultation, and only where your practitioner considers it clinically appropriate. The consultation is what you book. A request form is one possible outcome of it, alongside advice, monitoring, a referral, or no test at all.
