Who we are

We are an experienced team of General Practitioners (GPs), healthcare communications professionals and IT experts with a shared interest in developing digital resources to improve patient care. 

 

Dr Kartik Modha, MBBS(Hons) BSc(Hons) MRCGP

Co-founder and CEO

NHS and Independent GP
Founder and Chair of Tiko’s GP Group (TGG)


Kartik completed his BSc in Physiology, Bachelor of Medicine and Bachelor of Surgery at King’s College London in 2005.  He has worked in a variety of specialty teams in NHS hospitals across London and the South East of England, where he learnt the importance of communication systems to healthcare.

During his GP training, Kartik developed a passion for health technology and particularly systems that allowed doctors to share knowledge and save clinical time.  In 2011, he founded “Tiko’s GP Group (TGG)”, now the largest GP-only online network in the UK. He was a finalist in the ‘Innovators of the Year’ category at the GP Business Awards 2012 and has been in the 'Pulse Power 50 most influential GPs in the UK' list for the last 4 years despite only being a GP for 6 years..

Kartik deeply believes in creating online systems that improve connectivity between doctors and empower patients to make informed healthcare decisions.  He believes that finding and consulting the right specialist can dramatically change the outcome of a clinical condition, and that digital technologies will allow patients to take charge of their own care as we move towards an era of personalised healthcare.
