About ThanksDoc
Private general practice,
built around the GP.
ThanksDoc is the UK’s registered platform for private GP services. GPs launch and run their own services under our CQC registration, indemnity and governance. Businesses add a GP step to what they already offer. Patients book a named, GMC-verified doctor the same day, online or in person.

Why we exist
General practice is asking more of GPs every year. Going private alone is out of reach.
More pressure, longer lists, less control. A GP who wants to work on their own terms faces CQC registration, indemnity, governance, records, a website and a pipeline of patients before the first appointment: around £150,000 and more than a year of setup.
Patients, meanwhile, wait two to three weeks for an NHS appointment, or get locked into subscription apps before they have seen a doctor. Businesses with people in front of them every day have no simple way to add a GP.
We built ThanksDoc so a GP can launch their own private services in about a week under a registration that is already in place, and so patients and businesses can reach that doctor directly.
How ThanksDoc works
Three audiences, one registered platform.
Businesses
Labs, gyms, pharmacies, clinics and opticians add a GP step to what they already offer. One booking link on your own site, or a same day match from our directory of verified doctors.
Patients
Book a named, GMC-verified GP online or in person, the same day. Message us on WhatsApp or book straight from a doctor's own page.
What makes us different
Built for GPs who want to work on their own terms.
Three things that set us apart from going it alone, and from the subscription apps.
01
One membership, everything handled
CQC registration, indemnity, governance, records, a microsite and referrals under one roof, instead of nine separate suppliers.
02
Live in days, not months
No waiting a year for your own registration. Launch under ours and see your first private patients in about a week.
03
Named doctors only
Every GP is GMC-registered, UK-based, DBS-checked and verified before they are listed. Patients and businesses see exactly who they are booking.
Regulation
A registered platform from day one.
ThanksDoc operates under the same regulatory frameworks that govern every private healthcare provider in the UK. We do not cut corners on compliance, because patient safety is the entire point of the platform.
CQC registration
GPs and partners work under our CQC registration. We oversee governance, safeguarding and quality assurance, so a GP does not need a registration of their own to launch.
GMC-verified doctors
Every doctor on the platform is GMC-registered with a current licence to practise, and is checked and verified through our 22-point compliance review before they go live.
UK GDPR
Registered with the Information Commissioner's Office. Patient records are encrypted in transit and at rest. Dr Linda Odogwu is our designated Data Protection Officer.
What we don't do
Honest about our limits.
We are a primary care platform, not a one-stop shop for everything. Here is what we cannot help with, and where to go instead.
We are not an emergency service
If you are experiencing chest pain, severe bleeding, a suspected stroke, breathing difficulties, or any other life-threatening symptom, call 999 or attend A&E. For urgent non-emergency advice, call NHS 111.
We do not prescribe controlled drugs
Schedule 1 to 5 medications are not available through ThanksDoc. That includes strong opioids, benzodiazepines, Z-drugs, ADHD stimulants, and any other substance covered by the Misuse of Drugs Regulations 2001.
We do not treat outside the UK
Our clinicians are licensed for prescriptions and treatments that can be dispensed within the UK only. If you are abroad, we cannot consult with you.
We do not replace your NHS GP
ThanksDoc is private primary care. A doctor can share a consultation summary with your NHS GP with your consent, but we do not issue NHS prescriptions or referrals.
