The consultation is rarely the end of it.
A conversation that ends without a prescription, a document or a next step has not finished the job. Where the professional judges it appropriate, DropDr carries the journey onward.
What can follow a consultation
Each of these is a clinical decision made by the treating professional. None of them is automatic.

Medicine prescribed where clinically indicated, carried to the pharmacy you choose.

About CareCircleRepeat medicine
A history of what was prescribed makes a repeat request a factual conversation.
Pharmacy pathwayAm I guaranteed a prescription?
No, and you should be wary of any service that implies otherwise. Prescribing is a clinical decision made by the professional after assessing you. Paying for a consultation buys the assessment, not a predetermined outcome.
Can I get a medical certificate?
Where the professional judges it clinically justified based on their assessment. A certificate is a clinical statement, not an administrative favour, and professionals carry real consequences for issuing one that is not warranted.
How long is a referral valid?
That depends on the receiving practice or facility rather than on DropDr. The referral itself stays in your records so you can present it again if needed.
Where are my documents stored?
In your records inside the DropDr app, where you can view them, present them and share them with professionals you grant access to.
Can I ask a follow-up question afterwards?
Yes, within the follow-up window that opens after your consultation. It is intended for clarifying what was discussed rather than for raising something new — a new concern needs a new consultation, which is fair to the professional's time.
