MET Medical’s Innovative 'Urgent Care at Your Door' Service: Revolutionising At-Home Private Healthcare
MET Medical was proud to announce a few months being the first independent ambulance service to launch a consumer Urgent Care service in the UK. Since then the company has been pouring its heart and soul into the development of the market-leading Urgent Care at Your Door service, offering a new dimension of healthcare delivery right to your home.
The service is primarily led by highly trained and registered paramedics with secondary review by experienced Emergency Department doctors. The service provides fast, professional medical care in the comfort of your own home, without the wait times or discomfort of traditional hospital visits.
MET Medical has over a decade of experience delivering healthcare in Hertfordshire and the surrounding counties, including providing emergency ambulance services 365 days a year to support the NHS.
Advanced Care Delivered by Paramedics
At the heart of our urgent care service are our specialist paramedics, who are experts in emergency care and expanding their scope with enhanced skills in primary and urgent care. Many are undertaking University Advanced Clinical Practitioner training. This added level of expertise allows them to deliver a broader range of clinical care, including assessments that traditionally would have required a hospital visit.
In the instances when further consultation is necessary, our ED doctors are on-call to step in for secondary reviews, ensuring that you always receive the highest standard of care. With the aid of cutting-edge software, our team can easily access your medical records, coordinate care, share information with your GP and deliver precise, timely treatment through our secure patient portal.
Seamless Test Results and Imaging
We understand that accurate and timely diagnostics are critical. That's why we’ve partnered with local labs to offer same-day or next-day test results. From blood tests to more advanced imaging like X-rays, CT scans, and MRIs, we ensure that you receive the diagnostic clarity you need without delay. Our partnerships with imaging centres allow for streamlined pathways, offering quick access to these services without long waits.
Partnership with Private Hospitals in Hertfordshire and London
MET Medical has established strong relationships with private hospitals locally in Hertfordshire, as well as specialist hospitals in London, offering patients a comprehensive network of care. Our London partnerships provide access to over 150 private Intensive Treatment Unit (ITU) beds, giving you the same multi-disciplinary consultant-led care typically found at University Hospitals—but without the waiting list. MET Medical is beleived to be the first private ambulance service to enable a seamless pathway from being called to being admitted to a private hospital. These partnerships deliver outstanding hospital-level treatment combined with added comfort, personalised attention, and customer service.
Point-of-Care Blood Testing: Hospital-Level Care at Home
One of the standout features of our service is our ability to provide point-of-care bedside blood testing. This technology allows us to deliver rapid diagnostics in the home, offering immediate results that can inform treatment decisions on the spot. Whether you're managing a chronic condition or facing an acute issue, this capability ensures that you receive all the diagnostics without leaving your house and, in many cases, helps prevent hospital admission or leads to a faster diagnosis.
ePrescriptions: Convenience Redefined
We’ve taken convenience to the next level by offering ePrescriptions that are accepted at all major pharmacy chains. Alternatively, we can arrange for automatic next-day delivery of any prescribed medication directly to your door, ensuring that your treatment is never delayed.
Met Medical’s Urgent Care at Your Door service is more than just a healthcare alternative—it’s a complete reimagining of how care is delivered. With our expert-led teams, state-of-the-art technology, and strong hospital partnerships, we provide an unparalleled level of care that truly meets you where you are.
