Online healthcare providers are at the heart of innovation in healthcare despite the regulatory challenges they face.
They undoubtedly have the potential to revolutionise how patients access primary care services, especially in an increasingly digital world for consumers and one in which traditionally delivered NHS services remain under huge strain.
With the online healthcare model still in its infancy and numerous regulators having control over different elements of the process, there is a significant regulatory burden placed on providers who decide to operate in this budding market. Slight variations in company set up can prompt different regulators to intervene. This complicated landscape can be confusing, stressful and time-consuming and a deterrent to these transformative new businesses.
Many online healthcare providers also come under attack from traditional service providers and the media, which can be particularly damaging to public trust in a market where credible, professional alternatives are needed to ease the pressure on NHS services.
