How Dr Quick works.

Tell us what’s wrong, see your price in full, and talk to a GMC-registered GP by secure video — matched to the next GP who is free, not a slot in a diary.

For patientsFor GPs

For patients.

Tell us what’s wrong.

A two-minute form in plain English, so the GP already knows why you’re calling.

A quick safety check.

A few questions make sure video is right for you. If anything points to an emergency, we tell you to call 999 and nothing is charged.

Confirm it’s you.

A photo ID check, with a passport or driving licence. It takes about a minute.

Your NHS GP.

Tell us your practice and, with your consent, we send them a summary afterwards.

See your price, in full.

Before you commit. It is held on your card, not taken, and never changed after.

Get matched.

You’re handed to the next GP who is free, instead of picking a time slot.

Talk by video.

A secure video consultation with a GMC-registered GP. The call is not recorded.

Afterwards.

A prescription sent to a pharmacy you choose, a fit note or a referral, if the GP judges you need one. Your summary is saved to your account.

What a consultation does, and doesn’t, cover.

It covers

  • A GMC-registered GP assessing new or worsening symptoms.
  • A prescription sent to a pharmacy you choose, if the GP judges you need one. You pay the pharmacy for the medicine itself.
  • A fit note, if the GP judges you’re not fit to work.
  • A referral letter for private specialist care.
  • A straight answer on whether you need to be seen in person.

It doesn’t

  • Emergencies — call 999 or go to A&E.
  • Anything needing a physical examination, a test or a scan.
  • Controlled drugs such as strong opioids and sedatives. Schedule 2 and 3 medicines are never prescribed on Dr Quick.
  • Ongoing medication that needs monitoring, without access to your records.
  • Replacing your NHS GP. Dr Quick works alongside them, with your consent.

For GPs: how a shift works.

Go online.

No rota and no minimum hours. You are only matched while you have said you are available.

A patient is matched to you.

They have already completed a structured intake form, so you know why they are calling before the call starts.

Consult, and get paid.

Fifteen minutes by secure video, with a prescription, fit note or referral afterwards where you judge it clinically appropriate.

Checked once, kept current.

Nothing is matched to you until every check is in place, and we re-check them as they fall due.

  • GMC registration and a licence to practise
  • A place on the GP Register
  • An enhanced DBS check
  • Right to work in the UK
  • Your own medical indemnity for private work

What Dr Quick does, and doesn’t, do.

We do

  • Verify you once — GMC register, licence to practise, enhanced DBS, right to work and indemnity — and keep those checks current.
  • Confirm the patient’s identity and take their payment before you are matched.
  • Put a completed intake form in front of you before the consultation starts.
  • Hold the clinical record, which the registered provider is required to keep.
  • Send a summary to the patient’s NHS GP, with their consent.

We don’t

  • Make clinical decisions for you, or set any target for prescribing.
  • Ask for exclusivity, notice or a minimum number of hours. NHS, locum and partnership work carry on alongside.
  • Cover your medical defence. Private telehealth sits outside the NHS schemes, so you keep your own MDO cover.
  • Pass on requests for Schedule 2 or 3 controlled drugs. Those are prohibited across the platform.
  • Send you a patient outside England. Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland are regulated separately.

Be first through the door.

Join the waitlist and we’ll tell you when Dr Quick opens in England. GPs can sign up to be first on the rota.
