What an online doctor can—and cannot—do
Telephone and video appointments are useful for many common, non-emergency problems, ongoing medication reviews and clinical advice. If examination, tests or emergency treatment are needed, the doctor will direct you to appropriate in-person care.
- Telephone or video consultation
- REMPe prescription by email when appropriate
- Available to residents, expatriates and visitors
- Not suitable for life-threatening emergencies

Electronic prescriptions
Eligible REMPe prescriptions are sent by email with a QR code for a pharmacy in Spain.

Stock varies. The pharmacist can confirm availability and explain dispensing requirements.
