Across the UK, general practitioners are facing an unprecedented set of challenges.
Years of funding cuts, increased workload, and declining pay have left many GPs struggling to maintain the standards of care they believe in. Appointments are shorter, administrative demands are higher, and the balance between work and wellbeing has become almost impossible to sustain.
The reality is stark: the NHS is under enormous pressure, and doctors are burning out. Many feel trapped between underfunded practices and overworked locum schedules. Some are leaving medicine altogether, while others are searching for a way to practise more independently — on their own terms, with more control, more time for patients, and fairer pay.
That’s where ThanksDoc comes in.
A Platform Designed by Doctors, for Doctors
ThanksDoc is redefining how doctors work in the UK.
We connect qualified GPs with pharmacies and private healthcare settings across the country, enabling them to deliver safe, compliant, and rewarding in-person consultations.
Through ThanksDoc, you can choose to work in two ways:
- Uber-style model:
Work flexibly, just like a locum — pick up consultation requests through the ThanksDoc platform at participating pharmacies near you. When a patient books, the job goes out to available doctors, and you decide whether to accept. - Private clinic model:
Establish your own regular private clinic within a pharmacy or healthcare location, offering continuity to local patients who value your ongoing care.
Both models give you autonomy, fair pay, and professional freedom — without the overheads, admin, or burnout that come with traditional practice.
Reclaim Control Over Your Time and Income
ThanksDoc allows you to decide:
- When you work – choose shifts or ad-hoc sessions that fit around your life.
- Where you work – see patients in safe, pre-approved consultation rooms in pharmacies.
- How you work – whether you prefer a flexible ad-hoc model or a structured private clinic.
Unlike agencies or corporate providers, ThanksDoc is transparent and fair. Doctors are paid directly through the platform, with only a 10% service fee deducted for payment processing and platform support.
For just £29 per month, your subscription covers:
- Professional indemnity insurance
- Compliance and documentation checks
- Platform access and priority support
There are no hidden costs, no admin burden, and no chasing payments.
Work Safely and Professionally
We know that clinical safety and professional standards are non-negotiable. Every pharmacy that partners with ThanksDoc must:
- Have a private consultation room equipped with an examination couch
- Provide access to emergency medicines
- Meet full regulatory and confidentiality standards
This ensures that every consultation — whether a minor illness, health check, or private prescription review — takes place in a setting that’s appropriate for both doctor and patient.
You simply arrive, consult, and focus on what really matters: delivering quality care.
Why Doctors Are Joining ThanksDoc
The appeal of ThanksDoc isn’t just flexibility — it’s freedom.
Freedom from long rotas. Freedom from unpaid paperwork. Freedom from the feeling that your clinical time is undervalued.
Doctors tell us they’re joining ThanksDoc because it allows them to:
- Earn more fairly without intermediaries taking a large cut.
- Choose when and where to work — no fixed commitments.
- Return to real patient care instead of endless admin.
- Build their own brand as an independent practitioner.
- Contribute to accessible private healthcare in their communities.
ThanksDoc gives doctors a chance to reclaim control — to practise medicine the way it should be practised: compassionately, calmly, and competently.
A Sustainable Future for GPs
We believe general practice can be different.
The NHS will always be the backbone of UK healthcare, but the private sector has a vital role to play in supporting access and innovation. ThanksDoc bridges the gap — empowering doctors to provide private, affordable, same-day GP consultations in the heart of their communities, through pharmacies that patients already know and trust.
This isn’t about replacing the NHS. It’s about supporting it — and supporting the doctors who keep it running.

If you’re a GP who’s ready to regain flexibility, reduce burnout, and build a more sustainable career, ThanksDoc is here to help.
We’re building a nationwide network of doctors and pharmacies, united by one goal: to make private primary care accessible, ethical, and rewarding for everyone involved.
