CareNow - fast, affordable care for common conditions
Got something specific that needs sorting? See us for a single common condition - from coughs, colds and infections to skin, sexual health, minor injuries, and nursing services like blood tests and immunisations. See the full menu below. CareNow is mainly delivered by our nurses, alongside other clinicians such as physiotherapists and pharmacists.
One condition, one low fee, no long wait.
Is CareNow Right for Me?
CareNow is for a single, specific health need you want sorted quickly and affordably - you have a good idea of what's wrong and want it sorted now. You don't need to be enrolled with WeCare to book, but enrolled patients pay less
CareNow is a good fit if you:
- Have one common condition or minor ailment from our menu to sort
- Want an affordable consult and don't need to see an advanced clinician or GP
- Don't want to wait weeks for an appointment
CareNow may not be the right fit if you:
- Have an urgent or acute problem that can't wait - try Drop-inCare
- Have several issues, or a complex or ongoing condition - book a GeneralPractice consult
- Need care for something not on our menu - see GeneralPractice
If CareNow isn't the right fit, we'll have something that does. Try Drop-inCare for urgent issues, or GeneralPractice for routine or ongoing needs. CareNow is designed for single, common conditions - it doesn't replace a longer GP appointment when you need one.
