About Dr Dropin & skindoc.

Dr.Dropin was founded in Norway in 2017 by Dr Daniel Sorli, with a simple but ambitious idea: that accessing a doctor shouldn’t mean weeks of waiting or navigating a system that wasn’t built around the patient. That idea grew quickly. Dr.Dropin is now Norway’s leading independent healthcare provider, operating across more than 34 clinics in Norway and Sweden, and recognised as one of Scandinavia’s fastest-growing health start-ups.

Seeing the same access challenges playing out in the UK with NHS waiting times continuing to rise Dr.Dropin made the move to London, opening its first UK clinic in Fulham before expanding to Marylebone. Since launching in the UK, the team has treated over 10,000 patients and built a reputation for high-quality, affordable, same-day care, reflected in a 4.9/5 rating across more than 300 Google reviews.

skindoc was launched in 2021 by two London-based Consultant Dermatologists who shared a frustration with how difficult it had become for patients to access specialist dermatology care. Starting as a digital-first service, skindoc quickly became one of the select few CQC-approved online dermatology providers in the UK. In 2022, skindoc joined forces with Dr.Dropin – a natural partnership that brought together skindoc’s clinical dermatology expertise with Dr.Dropin’s infrastructure, ambition, and international track record. Together, they opened a face-to-face dermatology clinic in Fulham, alongside Dr.Dropin’s existing GP and psychology services.

Although two independent businesses, Dr.Dropin and skindoc operate as one collaborative team, pioneering a digi-physical model of care that seamlessly combines online and in-person services across dermatology, general practice and psychology. The goal is straightforward: to build the leading independent healthcare provider in the UK, and to make genuinely good healthcare accessible to everyone who needs it.

If you’re passionate about healthcare, want to be part of something that’s genuinely changing how people access care, and are ready to make a real impact then we’d love to hear from you. If you are passionate about healthcare, eager to be part of a forward-thinking team redefining what private care looks like in the UK, and ready to take real operational ownership, we invite you to apply.
