Online gp for children

Hi writing in response to reading the post regarding zero access to NHS GP/emergency services and people recommending online GP as pay as you go sort of thing. Is there one for children - video/telephone GP that can prescribe antibiotics or whatever? Just thinking as we go into winter we are rural and 50 minutes from nearest out of hours/walk in/a&e and for weekend or over Christmas I’m starting to worry when everywhere is shut or overwhelmed and 111 never answer or reply 24 hours later when we’ve already had to head to a&e

To edit. Our GP is perfectly adequate but obviously is shut over Xmas/new year and after 5pm Friday to 9am Monday and my children have a habit of getting I’ll just as everywhere shuts! 🤦‍♀️😂

Private GPs, in my experience, often need children to be over 12 for online appointments. Even my own GP won’t see DS online. We usually need to go to the urgent care centre of children’s A&E over xmas if needed.
