HealthAmigo is a e-health business founded to change and enhance the traditional relationship between the medical profession and health consumers. Our aim is to break down the "medical language and health system barriers" between the doctor and the patient. We believe that all medical information should be presented in a clear and understandable language so that the patient fully understands their rights, choices and, ultimately, decision.

HealthAmigo, the "patient's friend", will champion patients issues by challenging established medical views. Dr Phil Hammond will set the character of the company, by leading our campaigns.

Around 50 UK doctors and health professionals contribute to the contents of PocketDoctor and HealthAmigo. HealthAmigo is a collaboration between committed doctors, health care professionals, information specialists and patients who believe that medical practice should be based on quality-assessed information and, wherever possible, on the basis of the principles of evidence-based medicine.

Our editorial independence and reliance on professional trusted advice and source information is an essential prerequisite of our service. We follow the same standards of practice as the leading medical journals.
