Decide for Yourself
Labelled as an "anti-vaxxer" despite being vaccinated, portrayed as a "bully" for fighting to protect human rights and patient autonomy, dismissed as a "conspiracy theorist" for daring to question the medical profession using peer reviewed research and data.
Dr. David Cartland "destroyed" his medical career for daring to question and speak out during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Is Dr. David Cartland an actual doctor?
SHORT ANSWER - YES.
Dr Cartland trained at Birmingham Medical School, qualifying in 2008. From there, David went on to work in several areas of Primary Care, including working as a General Practitioner, working as a GP in A&E, out-of-hours urgent primary care cover and also providing outreach services and clinical navigation / triage.
Dr Cartland also has a First-Class Honours degree in Biomedical Science, which included a year of specialist immunology and microbiology / virology training, including statistical analysis. Between his two degrees, Dr Cartland worked for a year in the Angiogenesis Research Group at The University of Birmingham, and he is a published author in angiogenesis research. In addition to this, Dr Cartland has been actively involved in the teaching of medical students and other allied health professionals.
Is Dr. Cartland currently a registered GP?
SHORT ANSWER - No, not since he was de-registered by the GMC in June 2025.
Dr. Cartland was de-registered following the decision of a closed panel of the professional medical body (GMC) in June 2025. Despite not being allowed to present most of his evidence to defend the accusations made against him at the hearing, nor bring any witnesses in his defense.
Can Dr Cartland offer medical advice?
SHORT ANSWER - YES.
The format of consults are to use his 8 years of medical training/experience at medical school and his subsequent 17 year career across many specialities including A&E and his eventual generalist primary care role.
He uses this to blend allopathic and naturopathic angles to many of the issues he encounters. Due the the GMC decision he can no longer prescribe, formally treat or make a formal diagnosis. However he uses his skills in full history taking, considers presentations in their biological psychological and sociological caveats. With this information he offers holistic opinions, signposts to research or further formal medical investigation/contact, navigation of the best path to follow in addition to patient advocacy, a listening ear and a second opinion/jargon busting medical translation into layman’s terms.
The other advantage is the time frame means no rushing, ability to listen actively and not make you feel like you are being processed by the NHS in ten minute intervals ending in a prescription. Dr Cartland considers ALL options.
What reason do most people consult with Dr Cartland for?
Dr Cartland covers a wide range of subjects with his clients but common themes include lost confidence in vaccines in people who have lost trust in the NHS after the Covid pandemic handling. He also helps as a lay advisor for legal situations and mediates differing opinions between partners or parents and schools. He commonly sees those injured by the jab or given terminal diagnoses who have been left to it by the NHS. He signposts people to up to date research on detox and natural supplements available to optimise your physical health to be able to resolve some of the issues instigated by the Covid jabs for example.
He also gives second opinions or empowers patients anxious to seek NHS help and gives them the tools to be confident in what they should be expecting from a NHS consult in advance.
