Health advisors are experienced healthcare professionals

All of our health advisors are experienced nurses and extensively qualified in various medical specialisations. For example, you may be assisted in the service by a paediatric nurse, a public health nurse, a midwife or a nurse specialised in neurology. You can consult them about any concerns you might have about your health.

  • Stomach problems, such as pain, diarrhoea
  • Earache or hearing loss symptoms
  • Skin reactions
  • Flu symptoms, such as cough, fever, a runny nose

An actual visit to a doctor is not always needed. In the chat, you can include pictures of skin or eye symptoms, for example. If needed, the health advisor can add a physician to the chat, who can write you a prescription or a referral to further examinations, if needed.

What does the Pohjola Health Advisor service cost?
