Founder Message
Our Story
"My friends, who are working professionals, regularly reached out to me for support on health-related queries. What surprised me was despite most of them having private health insurance and access to the NHS - a combination of busy working lives, poor accessibility, and complicated processes meant (emergencies aside) they wouldn't engage in those existing health channels. That insight gave me the idea for MyAdvocates, built for modern lives, a platform that allows working professionals to ask non-urgent medical questions to qualified doctors (that might otherwise get searched on Google) and get quick personalised responses back."
