Dr Thom DrThom is a UK-based commercial online doctor service, also operating in Ireland and Australia. It was the first online doctor service to be registered with the UK’s Care Quality Commission. It is 100% owned by Lloydspharmacy, which is in turn owned by German healthcare and pharmaceutical company Celesio. ==Origin==
Dr Thom was founded by Thom Van Every, a sexual health doctor at London’s Chelsea and Westminster Hospital. Van Every noticed that many of his patients were embarrassed to see a doctor about their ailments. He founded the service focusing on sexual health, then gradually added services. In 2006, Dr Thom launched the UK’s first home test for HIV, based on saliva rather than the traditional blood test. In August 2009, Lloydspharmacy acquired a 33% stake in the business, and in March 2011 it bought the remaining 67%. At the time, Lloydspharmacy’s Managing Director, Tony Page, said, “Patients love the service - it’s a rapidly growing area of our business.” The purchase price was not disclosed.♙
