Flexible private GP work. On your terms.
Work the hours you choose, from anywhere in the UK. ThanksDoc supplies the patients, the platform, and the EPR. You provide the clinical care.
Why ThanksDoc
Private GP work without the admin headache.
Most UK GPs who want to do private work face the same problem. Setting up alone means CQC registration, building a website, sorting indemnity, finding patients, and handling billing. By the time you've done it all, you could have just been seeing patients.
ThanksDoc removes everything in between. The CQC registration is ours. The booking system is ours. The marketing is ours. The patient acquisition is ours. You sign in, accept the patients you want to see, and we settle up at the end of each month.
You stay independent. Your NHS work is unaffected. You can do as many or as few consultations as you like.
Requirements
The 22-point compliance check.
Every doctor on the platform is UK-registered with a current licence to practise. Before your first consultation, we verify each of the following documents. Several renew automatically and we warn you 30 days before expiry.
