Doctor Care Anywhere, one of the UK’s largest private providers of telehealth services, has partnered with ZoomDoc to provide medical letters and certificates.
ZoomDoc is an online medical letter company that provides 28 different types of documentation that patients often wait to get from their GP or that NHS GPs do not typically provide.
This first-of-its-kind partnership brings together two of the biggest names in remote care to help support the NHS by reducing the burden of medical letter provision all year round.

Chief Customer Officer at Doctor Care Anywhere, Zoe Sullivan, said: "Doctor Care Anywhere conducts over 60,000 virtual consultations a month, and is keen to expand its services to meet patient needs. Since partnering with ZoomDoc, our patients can get a guaranteed medical letter the same day, seven days a week, 365 days a year."
Chief Medical Officer at ZoomDoc, Dr Kenny Livingstone, said: "A ZoomDoc GP can safely review 15 patients per hour and provide the relevant documents, whereas an NHS or private GP would typically do four or five consultations.
"By partnering with Doctor Care Anywhere to scale its ability to help more patients with medical certificates, we want to reduce the pressure on their clinicians while providing a simpler, and quicker experience for patients."
