Medefer is a virtual healthcare service that works with the NHS to give patients access to fast and safe specialist care.
If you have been referred to us, then your GP has decided that you will benefit from a review by a specialist consultant, such as a gastroenterologist or cardiologist. Until recently, this meant referring you to a hospital outpatient clinic, where you could wait up to several months for an appointment.
With Medefer, your GP or hospital can now request one of our NHS specialist consultants to review your records online and provide advice to your GP, organise further tests or investigations for you, set up a telephone consultation appointment, or refer you on to hospital.
This service is free and is faster than waiting for an appointment at a hospital clinic.
