SameDayDoctor

What SameDayDoctor does

SameDayDoctor is a privately-held UK healthcare provider founded in 2003 by Dr Laurence Gerlis, operating four private medical clinics — three in London (including a Canary Wharf site rated OUTSTANDING for CARE by the CQC) and one in Manchester. The company delivers fee-for-service private general practice alongside a focused portfolio of specialty services: sexual health screening and HIV care, travel and routine vaccinations, visa and immigration medicals, IV vitamin therapy, ADHD assessments (via The ADHD Centre partnership), and corporate occupational health. It treats more than 30,000 patients per year and employs 51-100 staff.

The business is built on physical clinic infrastructure, GMC-registered clinicians, and CQC-regulated premises rather than proprietary technology or digital platforms. Underlying operations rely on standard electronic patient records and conventional clinical workflows; there is no disclosed proprietary software, AI tooling, or digital-first product. The service mix is largely transactional, with patients paying per consultation (£99-£120 for a standard GP visit) plus separate charges for diagnostics, vaccinations, and specialty packages.

The commercial model combines high-volume individual fee-paying patients with a smaller but strategic corporate occupational health book — anchored by a 25-year relationship with the National Theatre and extending to Old Vic, Young Vic, Shakespeare's Globe, and Almeida Theatre. Revenue is generated entirely through service fees rather than subscription, insurance intermediation, or public NHS contracts. Geographic reach remains concentrated in London with a single Manchester site, positioning the company as a regional private clinic operator rather than a national chain.
