A virtual consultation means you don’t actually have to go to a hospital or doctor’s office. The doctor you see is a real, qualified medical practitioner. It’s just the consultation that’s virtual: you do it online – on your phone, computer or device – which means you can do it anytime and from anywhere. You don’t even need to leave the house. Awesome, no more waiting rooms!
You will need to have an ID number if South African or a passport number if you are from another country. You will also need a email address to register and receive invoices and other documents.

A doctor’s note is a letter from the doctor confirming that they have consulted with you and outlining what they found, recommend and whether you need to take some sick leave or not.
Once you register, you can update your personal and medical information. It is important to document your medical history as accurately as possible. You only add this information once and it will be updated by the doctor after your consultation. Before every consultation you will need to answer a few questions to ensure the best care from your doctor.
Two consecutive days (meaning two days one after the other). The Basic Conditions of Employment Act only allows employees to be off work “for two consecutive days or on more than two occasions during an eight-week period” without a doctor’s note.
No, a doctor has to see you to give a doctor’s note. It’s the law. But if you are too far away from a doctor, struggling to get an appointment or just can’t get to the doc right now, you can get a doctor’s note in seconds by seeing a Udok virtual doctor instead.
Just like any doctor, your virtual doctor needs to know who you are and keep a medical record for you – which is free and available on your phone with Udok. And the easiest way to do that is for you to create a permanent profile, so the doc instantly knows you and can access all your files, to make the service super fast and useful.The best part? You only have to create 1 profile for your entire family!

Once the doctor has completed your consultation and found that you require medication, he will send the relevant documents to your pharmacy of choice electronically. Simply ask your pharmacist to check the Udok dashboard for your details.
