Dr. Fox is an online clinic launched in January 2010 by Tony Steele and Dan Broughton.

This model of consultation falls under the jurisdiction of the Care Quality Commission, which regulates all private practitioners of medicine.

In 2005 changes to the National Health Service regulation made it legal for online pharmacies to fill out NHS prescriptions over the internet.

They comply with the Health and Social Care Act 2008 and GPhC regulations.

In 2008 the RPSGB introduced a specially designed green cross logo so that customers could easily identify online pharmacies that had been accredited by the organisation.
