DrDoctor
NHS patient engagement platform
Patient access & engagement
Patient engagement platform managing appointment bookings, reminders and remote monitoring for over 70 NHS trusts and health boards.
The read
DrDoctor's patient engagement platform handles appointment booking, reminders, remote monitoring questionnaires and waitlist management for NHS trusts, and the company says it now manages roughly 40% of UK outpatient appointment activity.
Its August 2024 acquisition of Maia, a personal health record and care-planning platform, marked its first move into mental health and community care, extending beyond its original outpatient-booking focus.
The Bridgehead view
DrDoctor's outpatient-booking scale gives it a foothold most patient-access rivals lack: hospital procurement cycles, not GP practices, which is a structurally different, slower-moving but stickier sales motion worth telling differently in its PR.
