VitalityHealth has partnered with Doctify, a UK-based independent and online review and booking platform for medical consultants.

The partnership, the first between Doctify and a health insurer, has developed “Vitality Specialist Finder powered by Doctify”. It is a website that allows members to search for doctors by speciality, rating and location.

In addition, patients will be able to book appointments on the site 24 hours a day, as well as rate and review the doctors. This is another UK first.

Currently, the service is being rolled out to members via VitalityHealth’s Muscoloskeletal team. It will fully launch with direct member access to clinicians later in 2019.

The service includes:

  • Direct appointment booking requests combined with consultant reviews and feedback, as well as key consultant information;
  • Instant member access to a list of consultants who are recognised by VitalityHealth, and
  • Promotion of patient choice across a range of members’ hospital lists and across the UK.

Dr Ali Hasan, clinical operations director, VitalityHealth, said: “We’re delighted to be the first health insurer to partner with Doctify. Doctify are great partners for us. Founded by two doctors, they impressed us by how close their vision in this space was to ours – technology to empower patients to help them find the right care for them, first time, quickly, and reassuringly.
