What the Bupa Blua Health clinicians can support with
Bupa Blua Health clinicians can treat a wide variety of health problems, provide health information, and give advice regarding lifestyle or smoking.
After seeing a clinician via a digital appointment, they will explain any additional next steps if required, including prescriptions and/or a referral to an in-person appointment, to a hospital for tests, or to see a specialist if required.
When it’s best to have an in-person appointment with a doctor

- Smear tests and other procedures
- Baby check
- Various physical examinations
Some medications, including controlled or otherwise restricted medicines.
