A doctor for Gzira, Msida and Ta’ Xbiex.

Consultations run to midnight, which is the point for anyone whose day does not end at five — and for students near the university who would rather not lose a morning to a waiting room.

The €25 is paid at the counter of Potter's Pharmacy in Paceville. Once it is paid the prescription opens on your phone, and any licensed Maltese pharmacy can dispense it, including the ones near you.

1. Open the app or the website and give your name and email once. There is no password to remember.
2. Say in a line or two what is wrong. A photo often helps — a rash, a swelling, a test result.
3. Call. Dr Kevin Navarro Gera answers within minutes when he is free; otherwise you wait in line and your phone rings at your turn.
4. Anything he writes up afterwards reaches you in the app and by email, usually within minutes.
5. The €25 is settled at Potter's Pharmacy when you collect. Nothing is taken from a card during the call.

The same things a GP sees in a morning: a chest or urine infection, a rash, a migraine, food poisoning, an ear that will not clear, a repeat of something you already take.

Where the assessment supports it, the doctor writes a prescription, and any licensed Maltese pharmacy dispenses it. Where a consultation shows that someone is unfit for work or for an activity, he puts that in writing too. Both are clinical judgements reached during the consultation.

A screen is not enough for everything. A wound that needs stitching, a suspected fracture, chest pain, anything needing hands or equipment — the doctor says so during the call and sends you where you need to go.
