Healthcare marketing for private doctors and clinics.
Patients check the GMC register, your reviews and your own pages. We build the pages and run your search and press.
Where do you rank against the clinics near you?
Find your clinic on the CQC register, or yourself by name. We score your CQC rating and Google reviews against every private clinic registered near you. No email needed.
What we run for you
Run by our team, from the first call.
The Bridgehead team can run these services for private doctors and clinics as well as the software doing the work. The screens in the film are from care providers, with example data.

- The free local rank, the website build, and our team running the services
Patients pick a private doctor or clinic from the few names they can check: the GMC register, the reviews on Google, Doctify and iWantGreatCare, the doctor's own pages, and whatever an assistant says when asked. Glister scores and answers those signals. The software is open to private doctors and clinics, the website build is available too, and our team can run the services for you. This page covers all three.

What people check
How private doctors and clinics get chosen.
The GMC register
Registration, specialty and licence to practise are public, and anyone can check them.
Review platforms
Google, Doctify and iWantGreatCare carry the reviews patients read before they book.
Your own pages
What your website says about each doctor, and whether ChatGPT or Google names you when someone asks for a specialist nearby.
The rules
What your advertising has to follow.
The GMC's guidance
Good Medical Practice applies to every doctor wherever they work. When you advertise your services, you must not exploit people's vulnerability or lack of medical knowledge, and the information has to be factual and checkable. The GMC also expects advertising to follow the CAP Code.
Prescription-only medicines
The CAP Code does not allow prescription-only medicines to be advertised to the public. The ASA reads that to cover botulinum toxin, including ads that point at it without naming it, and advises promoting the consultation instead.
Testimonials and claims
A testimonial cannot stand in as evidence for a claim, and a claim that a treatment works needs evidence behind it.
What we would publish first
The first three pages for private doctors and clinics.
01 A page for each doctor
Specialty, GMC number, qualifications, where they practise, what they treat and what they do not, so a search for the doctor's name lands on a page the clinic controls.
02 A page for each condition and procedure
What it is, who it suits, what happens and what it costs, in the words patients use.
03 Fees stated plainly
Consultation and procedure prices on the page, since a doctor has to be open about fees before a patient consents to treatment.
The team behind it
Built by the people who build and run these sites.
Glister and your website are built by Bridgehead Communications. Bridgehead built and runs drsheelmehta.com, and has put UK care providers on the BBC and ITV and in the Daily Mirror, the Daily Express and the sector's trade titles.

Questions
Before you join.
Is Glister open to private doctors and clinics?
Yes. It starts from the CQC register, ranks you against the clinics near you, reads Google, Doctify, Trustpilot and WhatClinic, and checks every draft, and again at send, against the GMC's guidance and the CAP Code. It will not draft an ad for a prescription-only medicine, and it states a CQC rating only with the date of the report.
Is this for doctors who work in the NHS?
It is for doctors and clinics whose patients choose them privately: consultants with a private list, private GP practices and specialist clinics. A practice that sees NHS patients only has little to gain from it.
Can I use Glister today?
Yes. Start with the free local rank on this page, then confirm your details and sign in with a one-time link. Nothing is spent, sent or published until a person at your practice approves it.
What does the website cost?
£2,500 plus VAT to build it, paid once or at about £208 a month plus VAT over a 12-month contract. Hosting, security and maintenance are free during the contract and £100 a month plus VAT after it. Uploads and changes are free for up to three hours a month during the contract. Beyond that they are £100 an hour plus VAT, quoted first, and up to three hours a month stay included after the contract if you take Managed.
Do I need Glister to have the website?
No. The website is sold on its own, and the software is a separate subscription.
