DIABETES CONSULTS LTD

What DIABETES CONSULTS LTD does

Diabetes Consults Ltd is a UK-based, CQC-registered specialist healthcare provider founded in 2021 and headquartered at Cobalt House, Rochester, Kent. The company delivers private, pay-as-you-go clinical services anchored on Type 2 diabetes, with adjacent offerings in hypertension management, weight management using Wegovy and Mounjaro injectables, menopause wellness, vitamin B12 deficiency, travel vaccinations, sexual health, and general pharmacy dispensing. Patients self-refer without a GP and access care through an in-person Rochester clinic or virtual Zoom/telephone consultations booked via the jellypx.com platform. The clinical team, led by founder and Superintendent Pharmacist Boma Tonye Oburoh, is multi-disciplinary and includes a Consultant Endocrinologist, GPs, several senior clinical pharmacists with MSc Diabetes and independent prescribing credentials, a specialist diabetes dietitian, and a diabetes specialist nurse.

The underlying technology is a digital telemedicine platform providing 24/7 patient access to medical records, the ability to upload test results and share notes with family members or other clinicians, and integration with NHS systems including EMIS Web and Jelly for appointment management. The platform is positioned as a secure system gateway for sensitive patient data. Revenue is generated almost entirely on a per-consultation, per-test basis (tiered from £30 for a general telephone enquiry to £500+ for a specialist endocrinologist consultation), supplemented by private pharmacy OTC dispensing and weight-loss injectable prescriptions that bundle medication, needles, and sharps bins. Marketing is direct-to-consumer via clinical blog content, a wellness newsletter, organic social media, patient testimonials, and NHS-aligned community outreach through partnerships with Rochester Primary Care Network and the Kent and Medway Integrated Care Board, including vaccination campaigns delivered via the NHS mobile wellbeing bus.

Diabetes Consults Limited is a privately held, founder-owned company registered in England and Wales (Companies House number 13183332) with GPhC pharmacy registration 9011717. It is bootstrapped, with no disclosed institutional investors or external funding rounds, and operates from a single physical clinic supported by a UK-wide virtual consultation channel.
