Doctorcall was founded in 1989 by Dr Charles Levinson. We launched the UK’s first private visiting doctor service in London. Since then we have grown to support private patients and businesses across the UK. Care is delivered at home, in clinic and by video or phone with clear next steps after every appointment. We also run workplace flu vaccination clinics and a national flu voucher scheme, with egg-free options and COVID vaccines where required.

If a remote appointment is better, speak to a GP by video or telephone. Interpretation is available on request in more than 240 languages.
