Who is Numan?
Numan is a UK-based, Care Quality Commission (CQC)-regulated healthcare provider (Company No: 11440237) dedicated to extending human healthspan.
Founded in 2018, we integrate personalised medical treatments, advanced diagnostics, and clinical coaching to provide comprehensive care for metabolic health, hormonal balance, and longevity.
Our fully regulated online clinic brings together GMC-registered doctors, GPhC-registered pharmacists, and specialist clinicians. We make high-quality, evidence-based healthcare accessible from anywhere in the UK.
Forget average
Too many people settle for average health. Fatigue, weight gain, a deadened sex drive. They put it down to ageing, stress, or simply “how life is”.
Not here. Not at Numan.
We know there’s more. More to life, more to sex, more to waking up every morning without your aching muscles begging you to get back into bed.
By combining clinical expertise with technology, our platform connects you with the right medical professional, runs the right diagnostics, and delivers the best treatment for you, precisely when you need it.
From at-home blood testing and video consultations to prescription medication, coaching, and ongoing clinical monitoring, every part of the Numan experience is built around one principle: care that fits your life, for life.
Forget average. You deserve more.
Where we stand
Since launching, we’ve grown rapidly: expanding treatments, developing an AI-powered health coach, and building a team dedicated to putting patients first.

What patient care means to us
We know we've made a tangible difference to people's lives. It's what drives us to keep raising the bar. Our patients have discovered undiagnosed kidney conditions with simple blood tests, regained mental clarity with targeted hormone treatment, and reduced their risk of type 2 diabetes through weight loss.
Every treatment pathway follows National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) guidelines. Our multidisciplinary team (MDT) - bringing together doctors, pharmacists, and specialist clinicians - reviews every protocol to ensure your care meets the highest clinical standards.
When you receive a prescription from Numan, you can be confident it has:
Been reviewed against your individual health profile
Been cross-checked against current clinical standards
Been approved by a qualified clinician, not an algorithm
Trust matters
When it comes to health, trust is non-negotiable. That's why every part of Numan is regulated, inspected, and verifiable.
We are registered with:
Care Quality Commission (CQC) - England's independent regulator of health and social care. Our registration confirms we meet national standards for safety, efficacy, and patient-centred care.
Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA) - the UK body responsible for ensuring medicines and medical devices are safe and effective.
Regulation is central to how we work, not a box to tick.
Our practitioners are individually registered:
Prescribing clinicians - General Medical Council (GMC)
Dispensing pharmacists - General Pharmaceutical Council (GPhC)
You can verify any of our practitioners directly on their professional registers. We think that's exactly how it should be.

This research commitment ensures that the treatments we offer are both clinically safe today and informed by where the science is going tomorrow.

Our prescribing process
Prescribing at Numan is a rigorous, four-step safety process, designed to ensure every prescription is medically appropriate and safe for your specific health needs.
Digital health consultation
You complete a detailed medical questionnaire reviewed by our clinical team. This captures your health history, current medications, and relevant lifestyle factors.
Clinical review
A registered doctor reviews your consultation and, if appropriate, issues a prescription. All prescriptions are made by named, regulated clinicians and are never automated.
Personalised treatment plan
If your clinician decides treatment is appropriate, they will put together a personalised plan. This may include a specific medication, a recommended dose, and guidance on how to use the treatment safely.
Secure dispensing and delivery
Your prescription is sent electronically to our GPhC-registered pharmacy. Your medicine is dispensed by a qualified pharmacist, packaged discreetly, and dispatched for delivery to your door.
