Online Doctor Services involve the provision of information, advice, testing and treatment for a range of medical conditions. To ensure quality care, our clinicians will also follow up with some patients.

Dr Eve LTD is registered with the Care Quality Commission, the English independent healthcare regulator, under registration number 1-17534907209. This registration permits us to prescribe medicines and provide testing services without meeting patients face to face. All of our clinicians comply with the requirements of their professional bodies, the standards set by the healthcare regulators we are registered with and, importantly, the General Medical Council guidelines on remote prescribing.

Testing services cover only those conditions and infections that are specified for that particular testing service on this website. In particular, any testing services reliant upon a urine sample or a vaginal swab will not detect any infections in the throat or anus. All tests that are offered through this website are from reputable laboratories and are of the standards expected for the clinical purpose but as with all tests, no test can be 100% accurate and all tests are subject to a ‘window period’. The ‘window period’ for each test is made clear on the website.
Public Health England (PHE) may contact you asking you to participate in a study or survey related to your COVID-19 result. PHE has the legal right to collect and use patient information to inform targeted public health action.
The results of these studies/surveys will be used alongside other evidence to inform public health action against COVID-19. PHE will ask participants to provide consent to participate in any study or survey and participants will be offered the opportunity to further refuse participation in any future studies or surveys.
All diagnostic laboratories, point of care test providers and non-NHS testing services are required by law to report test results to PHE.

- Placing and cancelling an order
Prescribing of Medicines
When you place an order for medicines or take up a service that involves the prescribing of medicines this will require us to perform an assessment of your clinical suitability for the medicines before they can be approved for supply (“Clinical Assessment”). When you place an order, you agree to us commencing this Clinical Assessment and, as such, once this Clinical Assessment has been completed, you will have no legal right to cancel your order under The Consumer Contracts (Information, Cancellation and Additional Charges) Regulations 2013.
Examples of this service are: vaccination services and prescription services
HPV vaccinations
HPV vaccination treatments are available to book here and are offered by ThanksDoc Online Doctor in either a one, two or three dose programme. If you’re getting the vaccine privately, through a service like ours, it’s up to you whether you get two or three doses of the vaccine.
Once the Clinical Assessment for the HPV Vaccination has been completed, as explained above, you will have no legal right to cancel your order.
Notwithstanding the above, if following the Clinical Assessment and prior to you receiving a HPV Vaccination you wish to cancel your order, for reasons which do not pertain to an act, omission or fault by ThanksDoc Online Doctor, ThanksDoc Online Doctor will, at its discretion, issue a partial refund for the vaccine doses which have not been taken, but will deduct a £35 administration charge for its costs incurred in: (i) administering this partial refund, and (ii) in completing the Clinical Assessment.
Please note this only applies to HPV Vaccinations and not our other vaccination services or prescription services.
Testing kits
For unused postal testing kits and goods that do not require a prescription, you can change your mind and cancel your order provided you do so within fourteen calendar days of delivery. For orders containing multiple goods/testing kit items, this will be within fourteen calendar days of delivery of the last testing kit or goods item.
Where the test kit has been tampered with following delivery i.e. has been used, or opened, we will not be able to accept any returns or issue refunds for such test kits for health and hygiene reasons. See section 20 for more details of our refund and cancellation policy.
Examples of these testing kits are: STI or COVID-19 test kits
Other services
For any other item which is not a medicine, testing kit or goods, but requires us to provide a service alone or a service before approving items for supply, you have the right to cancel up to fourteen calendar days after the contract commences, however, where we have already begun to provide that service at your request, you will still be liable for costs relating to the service we have already provided. See paragraph 20 below for further details.
Any cancellations must be received and reviewed by ThanksDoc Online Doctor, in order to qualify for a refund in accordance with section 20.
- Concluding a binding contract
When we receive an order from you to purchase goods or services from us, we will confirm that we have received the order by sending a confirmation email to the contact email address that you supplied. Your order is an offer to purchase an item and will not be binding on us until we either prescribe your medicine, dispatch a testing kit or other goods, or otherwise commence a clinical service, whichever occurs first. Professional codes of conduct and legal restrictions may limit the number and frequency of any item we are permitted to supply to you and, as such, we have no obligation to supply quantities exceeding the relevant permitted maximum and will charge only for those we do supply. We reserve the right to reject any order.
- Delivery costs
Patients can choose between next-day delivery charged at £4.95, or FREE Standard Delivery for testing packs, goods or medicines that are sent in the post. Delivery is not charged on orders for medicines or goods where these are to be collected in a ThanksDoc store.

Refunds, if applicable, will only be made using the payment gateway (e.g. Sagepay) to the card originally used for payment. Refunds may take up to five working days to appear on a card statement.
All of our prescriptions are valid for six months from the prescription date. When you place an order for a medicine and nominate a pharmacy for collection, if our clinicians approve your order and prescribe, you must collect the medicine within six months. After this time, you will not be entitled to a refund.

- Authorisation of orders for medicines
Our clinicians can only make a decision as to whether it is in the best interests of the patient to receive a medicine when the clinician has all relevant information. On occasion, this may require the clinician to ask the patient for additional information further to the information that was provided in response to an online questionnaire.
- Non-availability/substitutes
In the event that a patient’s chosen pharmacy is unable to fulfil a prescription or supply goods ordered, we will contact the patient to agree an alternative pharmacy that we have already identified as having the item available. The original prescription/order will be revoked, and a new prescription/order will be sent to the new pharmacy.
- Delivery of orders
Your chosen pharmacy will dispense all medicines and supply all goods. Medicines and goods for delivery by post will be dispatched normally within one working day of the clinician authorising the supply of the medicine.
Please note, if you choose to have your order delivered to a neighbour or left in a safe place it is your sole responsibility to ensure that the persons signing for the delivery on your behalf, delivers the medicines/goods to you and it is your sole responsibility to ensure that the safe place is secure and out of view of the public.
