During the Trading session on 13 November 2026, Doctor Care Anywhere Group PLC (ASX:DOC) shares were trading at $0.105, down 8.70%, while the S&P/ASX 200 was down 0.73% at 9,079.70 at 12:39 pm AEDT. Doctor Care Anywhere is one of the UK's leading private telehealth providers, partnering with insurers, healthcare providers and corporate clients. Its latest update was its Q3 2026 trading update, released on 30 October 2026.

Revenue and subscription mix

Revenue for the three months to 30 September 2026 grew 16% to £11.3 million, with weight management contributing £1.5 million in its first full quarter in the group. Revenue in the rest of the Business was £9.8 million, level with the prior year quarter. Subscription revenue, including weight management, was £2.2 million, or 19% of revenue, compared with 8% a year earlier. Consultations rose 2.6% to 174,440, and 74% came from repeat patients.

Distribution partnerships

Doctor Care Anywhere added three distribution partnerships since July. Ramsay Health Care UK will offer self-pay online GP appointments to Ramsay patients from 20 July, with referrals into Ramsay's hospitals and specialists. Rippl, from 1 October, will offer a 12-month weight management programme to members of its employee benefits platform. Live Like Loyalty, from 19 October, offers the same programme to its members and up to five friends and family.

Cash and leadership

Cash at bank was £8.3 million at 30 September, up from £7.7 million at 30 June, helped by a £0.5 million payment received in advance on top of monthly free cash flow. Lisa Barter was appointed chief financial officer on a permanent basis from 1 October 2026, having served as interim since 18 August. The company released its strategy and business model update on 23 October.

Sector context

UK private telehealth providers compete on access, price and integration with insurers and employers. Subscription and recurring models are increasingly used to smooth revenue, while consultation volumes depend on patient Demand and referral arrangements. Weight management programmes are a growing area of focus in digital health.

Risks investors are watching

The company's revenue growth of 16% was driven by a new category, and the rest of the business was flat. Weight management and new partnerships depend on uptake through third-party platforms, which the company does not control. The company's reported figures are unaudited management figures in pounds sterling, and the quarter's cash increase included an advance payment that may not recur.

What to watch ahead

Investors will look for the roadshow presentation to be lodged with the ASX ahead of the investor meetings, the next quarterly update, and the uptake of the new distribution partnerships. Progress on subscription revenue as a share of total revenue will also be followed.

Final Word

Doctor Care Anywhere's third-quarter update shows revenue growth, a larger subscription share and a higher cash balance. The next update will show whether these trends hold once the new partnerships are fully active.
