When young children get sick at night
Being a parent means you’re often faced with the unexpected. Children rarely fall ill at a convenient time.
It’s 2am, your toddler wakes up with a fever, or you’ve just noticed a rash spreading quickly after nursery. At that hour your GP surgery is closed, NHS 111 means long hold times, and a trip to A&E feels overwhelming unless it’s clearly urgent.
With YesGP, help is always available.
Call the 24/7 hotline, explain your child’s symptoms to the Care Coordinator, and they’ll arrange a call back from the right doctor — usually within two hours. Because YesGP connects patients with specialists, you’re likely to be speaking to a paediatrician if it’s a child, meaning you’re not just getting generic advice but tailored guidance from a children’s health expert.
Teenagers and specialist GP advice
Parenting teenagers comes with a different set of health concerns. Sore throats that keep coming back, acne or skin conditions, or more sensitive issues that they may feel embarrassed discussing face-to-face with their GP.
YesGP helps here too, ensuring teenagers are connected with the right specialist doctor, and giving them a safe, discreet way to access advice.
Sometimes reassurance is enough — a doctor confirming what can be managed at home and what needs more urgent attention. Other times, a video consultation can be arranged so symptoms can be properly assessed before deciding if further care is required.
