Lead GP

🌍 A Bit About Us

At Doccla we’re redefining where and how healthcare is delivered.

We made our name as the UK’s leading provider of Virtual Wards designed to help hospitals discharge patients sooner and to care for them safely at home. Now Doccla is investing in technology-enabled proactive care to prevent people from unnecessary hospitalisation at a scale that can have a meaningful impact.

We provide everything clinicians need to deliver safe, effective Virtual Care across the full acuity spectrum, under one managed service. That spans Virtual Wards, helping hospitals discharge patients sooner and care for them safely at home, and Proactive Care, preventing unnecessary hospitalisation for the highest-risk patients in the community. Behind both sits a CQC-regulated clinical team, medical-grade devices, logistics, patient onboarding, EHR integration, and an AI-powered care platform built around real-world workflows.

We currently work with over 60% of NHS ICBs and support health systems across the UK, Ireland and the DACH region to reduce hospital pressure, improve outcomes, and create a more resilient model of care.

We're backed by top European investors, having secured £35m in Series B funding led by Lakestar, with participation from Elaia, General Catalyst, Speedinvest, and Bertelsmann.
