Company Overview

• Push Doctor opens a doorway to a different NHS.
   
  We work in partnership with the NHS to serve more than 5.8 million patients across the UK, helping them access healthcare quickly and easily via video appointments using smartphones and computers. We do this with a relentless focus on safety and high-quality clinical outcomes for patients.
   
  Our technology helps surgeries manage demand, matching patients with the right clinician – from digital GPs to physiotherapists to pharmacists – at the right time. This takes the burden off GPs and frees up their time to see patients who really need face-to-face care. We offer a private service for those patients who want it.
   
  We are the longest standing digital partner to the NHS and the only platform that can fully integrate across all NHS platforms and services. We are trusted as the leading expert in enabling remote consultations ad are rated ‘good’ by the Care Quality Commission. 

  Push Doctor Values:

  Empathy

  We are curious, caring and passionate. We have experienced healthcare ourselves and use research and insight to understand the aspects of healthcare we have yet to experience. Whenever empathy seems out of reach, we are proactive in bringing it into focus.

  Ambition

  We carve the path for others to follow, setting industry standards and transforming healthcare for the better. We are anything but new to this and have so much to be proud of. Together, we are unstoppable.

  Resilience

  Everything we do should add value to our service. We optimise and occasionally overhaul every aspect of the experience we provide, challenging expectations of what health can (and should) be. This isn’t something that happens overnight, so we need to be resilient and never lose faith
