    Our COVID-19 Care Assistant allows you to have a video consultation with a clinician online, possibly saving you a trip to the hospital. After you enter your symptoms into Ask A&E, it will indicate possible next steps.

    If you believe you need to speak to a healthcare professional, you can book a video consultation.

*Do not use this service during an emergency (emergency services should be contacted instead) or if you are pregnant. Steps 1 - 3 of Ask A&E’s Covid-19 Care Assistant is a general information service. It does not provide medical advice or a diagnosis but will provide you with information and/or possible actions you may take. Depending on the outcome of Steps 1-3, you may be referred for a digital consultation with a clinician (Step 4).
