Virtual GP service allowed to expand out of London despite criticism from doctors A virtual GP service has been given the green light to expand to a second major city after health leaders dropped their objections.
NHS England confirmed it had found a solution to previous concerns around access to immunisation and screening programmes for GP at Hand patients and lifted its objections to it expansion.
The decision paves the wave for the service, created by healthcare technology firm Babylon Health, to launch in Birmingham.
But senior medics branded the decision "disappointing and premature" and said it was "inappropriate" to allow GP at Hand's expansion before an independent evaluation of it is published. The Independent
