Health test provider Medichecks has launched a GP appointment service in collaboration with Doctor Care Anywhere.
The deal sees customers of Medichecks’ range of at home blood tests have the option to book a GP appointment with a Doctor Care Anywhere practitioner to discuss their test result.
Medichecks, founded in 2001, provides a range of blood tests, from hormones and nutrition tests, to health checks covering a range of biomarkers.
Customers will now be given the option to have a consultation through Doctor Care Anywhere after receiving their results. The option will appear in their MyMedichecks account and users will also be prompted via email.
Dr Natasha Fernando, medical director at Medichecks, said: “Our partnership with Doctor Care Anywhere marks a pivotal step towards offering a more holistic customer journey.
“Whether our customers have concerns that need contextualising with a consultation, questions about what their results mean for them, or simply seek reassurance and guidance, we’re now even more equipped to offer that.
“This service is especially crucial for those who, perhaps due to symptoms they’re experiencing, need a deeper understanding that only a GP consultation can provide.
“By enabling our customers to discuss their health with a GP from the comfort of their home, at a time that suits them, we’re not just offering convenience; we’re offering peace of mind and a path to action.
“This is about closing the loop from testing to understanding to acting, ensuring every step is supported, every question answered, and every customer empowered to take control of their health journey with confidence.”
Dr Yvonne Umebuani, deputy chief medical officer at Doctor Care Anywhere, added: “Doctor Care Anywhere (DCA) is dedicated to delivering exceptional healthcare experiences for all our customers. We see diagnostics as an essential part of this and have extensive experience in providing secondary diagnostics to our customers.
“We are therefore thrilled to be partnering with Medichecks and see this as an evolution of our diagnostic service offering.
“This collaboration will enable seamless comprehensive medical care to customers seeking explanation of their diagnostic test results.
“Medichecks customers will now have access to professional medical advice with DCA GPs, ensuring they receive personalised care and support tailored to their unique health journey.”
