If deemed appropriate, they may issue a stress leave certificate or prescribe medication.

Quick and responsive and certainly beats going to a GP
with a busy waiting room that is normally full of other sick people and screaming babies.
Haig Gilchrist
Hola is 100% my go to now if im sick.
It’s so quick and efficient and the doctors are very empathetic and understanding. Definitely beats sitting in a phone queue waiting to be answered, TRYING to book an appointment which usually can’t even happen the same day and on top of that sitting in a doctors waiting room where you with all other sorts of infections. I will most certainly continue to use Hola as my first choice when I can. Great job to all the team 👏
