Ask a GP provides access to New Zealand GPs for quick medical questions.

Simply type your question, attach any supporting documents, and click submit. Your question will be assigned to one of our GPs who will conduct research and send you a detailed response and attach any relevant links or documents. Please note this service is only available during business days, and the doctor will respond within 24 hours.

Ask a GP supports your treating doctor. It does not aim to replace them. If you require prescriptions or referrals you will need to visit your treating doctor.

Our GPs will also help you to identify if any of our other services can help you to manage your medical condition.
