Modern slavery statement
GPDQ Limited makes this statement in line with section 54 of the Modern Slavery Act 2015 and the Home Office guidance. We are a healthcare provider whose workforce is people, and the risks the Act addresses are real in our sector. This statement reports on the financial year that ended on 31 December 2025 and sets out what we are doing in the year to 31 December 2026.
Our business and our supply chains
GPDQ Limited is a healthcare provider registered with the Care Quality Commission, delivering clinical services across the United Kingdom through a bench of GPs, pharmacists, nurses, allied health professionals and healthcare assistants. We work with insurers, digital health providers, employers and the NHS. Our supply chain is short. It consists mainly of the clinicians we engage directly, the agencies and platforms through which some of them are sourced, the laboratories, equipment and consumables suppliers behind our clinical work, and the software and professional services every company uses.
Our policies
We have a zero-tolerance approach to modern slavery and human trafficking. Our recruitment and vetting procedure checks every clinician's identity, right to work, professional registration and references before they work for us, and our compliance system does not allow a booking to be made until those checks are complete and in date. Our code of conduct requires everyone who works with us to be engaged lawfully, paid at or above the legal minimum, and free to leave. Our whistleblowing policy lets staff, clinicians and suppliers report concerns confidentially, and protects them when they do.
What we did in the year to 31 December 2025
We engaged and paid our clinicians directly, which keeps the intermediaries through which exploitation can enter a workforce out of ours, and we ran every clinician through the vetting checks above before their first booking. No concern relating to modern slavery or human trafficking was raised with us through any route during the year.
Where the risks are
The parts of our business most exposed are agency-sourced staff, cleaning and facilities services at sites we use, and the manufacture of consumables and equipment overseas. We assess these as low but not negligible, and they are the areas our due diligence concentrates on.
What we are doing in the year to 31 December 2026
Any agency or platform we source clinicians from is being asked to confirm that it complies with the Act and to show us its own checks. New suppliers are asked about their labour practices when they are set up, and a supplier that will not answer is not used. People involved in recruitment, onboarding and procurement are receiving guidance on recognising the signs of modern slavery and on how to report a concern, and we are keeping a record of who has completed it.
How we will measure effectiveness
We already track the share of clinicians whose vetting is complete and in date. For the year to 31 December 2026 we are adding the number of supplier set-ups completed with the labour practices questions answered, the number of concerns raised through the whistleblowing route and their outcome, and training completion, and all four will be reported to the board with next year's statement.
Approval
This statement was approved by the board of directors of GPDQ Limited and is signed on its behalf by a director.
