Sickness absence in the UK hit a record high in 2023, costing businesses more than £100billion, with minor illnesses accounted for nearly 30% of cases.  These absences disrupt productivity and impact employee morale and wellbeing. 

At Doctor Care Anywhere, we offer innovative digital GP services designed to support both employees and businesses. By providing 24/7 access to healthcare professionals, along with proactive health services, we help ensure your workforce stays healthy, productive, and supported. 

Why Digital GP Services Are Essential

Rising NHS Wait Times

More than 5 million patients in England wait over two weeks for a GP appointment, and 32% wait more than a week.  In contrast, 100% of Doctor Care Anywhere appointments in 2024 were available within 16 hours, offering quick and convenient access to care when it’s needed most. 

The Rise of Digital Healthcare

According to Employee Benefits, 42% of organisations now offer virtual GP services as part of their employee benefits package. Why? Offering modern healthcare solutions like Doctor Care Anywhere enhances employee wellbeing, improves productivity, and helps attract top talent.

A Holistic Approach to Employee Health

Beyond virtual GP consultations, our services include: 

• Comprehensive Health Assessments: Diagnostic checks to identify and manage health risks early. These can be completed at home or in a clinic, offering flexibility for remote teams. 

• Tailored Physiotherapy Support: Expert treatment plans to help employees move better, recover faster, and stay pain-free. 

• Specialist Care Pathways: Targeted support for conditions like Men’s and Women’s Health, Mental Health, Weight Management, and more. 

• Personalised Products and Services: Tailored to meet the unique needs of both employers and employees.
