We understand that your time is valuable, which is why we make it easy for you to see a doctor or Advanced Clinical Practitioner at a time that suits you.

 
Our Clinical team

Doctor Care Anywhere offers you the ability to choose your preferred clinician from our team of UK-registered doctors and Advanced Nurse Practitioners. You can search for a clinician based on their area of expertise, their name if you have seen them before, or their gender if you prefer to speak to a male or female clinician. All our clinicians are UK-registered with either the General Medical Council (GMC) or Nursing and Midwifery Council ( NMC). They are also specially trained in virtual consultation skills, ensuring that you receive the highest quality of care during your consultation. 

 
Same day medication

You can have your prescription medicine delivered to your door or get it sent to your nearest local UK pharmacy for you to pick up at a time that suits you.

Instant referrals

Following a thorough consultation, if appropriate, the clinician will write you an instant referral and email you to let you know it has been stored securely on your patient record. You can then download this to share with your specialist or insurer.

 
24/7 secure access to your patient record

You can access your patient record at any time, update it as necessary and use it to download notes and referrals for future consultations. We can also share your notes with your NHS GP with your consent.

 
What our patients say

"The advice from the GP was excellent and thorough and the whole service is refreshingly immediate. I have already recommended it to friends and family and will continue to do so."

Charlie from Fulham

 
"I’m delighted my days of stuffy waiting rooms are over! I was able to make an appointment really quickly and easily with a doctor who really took the time to answer my questions fully and gave really informed and relevant advice."

Lucy from Surrey

 
"Doctor Care Anywhere has changed the way I view GP medical care from both a personal and professional perspective. Their online service is incredibly easy to use yet still maintains the highest level of personal care and privacy."

Lara from Warwickshire
 

“There are times when it can be difficult to get to the doctor, especially for parents juggling home, work and small children. Having access to Doctor Care Anywhere, a service that allows you to consult with a doctor online or over the phone seven days a week is both handy and helpful, at the times when you need it most."

Justine Roberts, CEO Mumsnet

### 1/5 — Very bad app

*2026-08-05, version 14.6.0*

Keeps crashing, doctor was unhelpful

### 1/5 — Awful App

*2026-07-27, version 14.5.0*

Simply, the app does not work. The doctor then tries to phone you and gets cut off. Then you lose your appointment.

### 1/5 — Doctor didn’t show up- not the first time

*2026-07-16, version 14.5.0*

Useless. App sends you 20 reminders demanding you to be on time for the appointment, and to not leave the waiting room, only to be stood up with a generic “doctor was delayed”

### 1/5 — Scam

*2026-05-28, version 14.3.0*

Doctors are late, blame you for bad quality, yet they don’t use the app, and call back on the phone instead - awful experience that never works, but when it does they cannot do anything except saying they don’t prescribe medicine online, unmotivated doctors, completely useless app

### 1/5 — Needs update

*2026-05-17, version 14.2.0*

Please get this app updated, once you login it just takes you to book appointment and you can do nothing else terrible app

### 1/5 — Doctors never turn up

*2026-02-22*

I never leave reviews but I had to express my opinion on this app. I’ve tried to book maybe 4/5 appointments in the past three weeks trying to see a Dr. Each time I’ve never had a doctor turn up on time. They’ll call sometimes up to 30 mins after my time asking if I still want to be seen. Sometimes they don’t show up at all with no call. As this is a part of my health insurance, not a salary sacrifice, it’s incredibly frustrating. Customer service is a joke too.

### 1/5 — The app is terrible

*2026-01-18, version 13.2.0*

The clinicians are late and the app keeps logging out. The response of the PIN keypad is very slow making logging in complicated.

### 1/5 — Can’t log in

*2025-12-22, version 13.2.0*

The app is stuck on the login page forever.   Very clunky start.  The website isn’t much better on Mac either

### 1/5 — Latest updates are bad

*2025-09-08*

The app worked Ok-ish for the last few years. But recently they changed the app for the worse. Previously there was a questionnaire when you book an appointment to clarify the symptoms, now it’s gone: you cannot describe the problem you’re booking an appointment for. Previously you could choose between a doctor and advanced practitioner: not anymore, just a few advanced practitioners to choose from. You can only join the call after the doctor joins, so you need to wait and stare at the useless page like a dummy. And the overall app experience is slow and unresponsive: the phone numbers are not clickable, you need to wait for login when you switch between apps. It seems that the company saves both on the app developers and the doctors, which is counter-productive.

### 3/5 — Lots of issues

*2025-08-29*

Reviewing the app and not the service.

It’s great to be given the option to use Face ID, but what’s the point if I’m asked to enter my login details almost every time I return, and I’m then asked again if I want to enable Face ID. It’s a never ending loop. Really frustrating.

Another major issue is that for a health-related app, it fails basic accessibility requirements. Your text color in many areas of the app including doctor notes is way below the minimum contrast required, making it hard to read despite not having any medical conditions. I can’t imagine how it would be for those with conditions. This is not acceptable.
