FAQs

Is this not just a taxi? No, definitely not. During your home appointment, we'll conduct comprehensive health checks, just like you'd receive at a doctor's surgery. In most cases, we can resolve issues without the need for a hospital visit. We refer to this as 'See and treat.' If hospital care is necessary, you're not obligated to travel with us. Ambulance services have evolved significantly, and even during emergency shifts, Paramedics often complete entire shifts without transporting patients to the hospital, as they can arrange further care on-site.

I have insurance. Can you take me to a private hospital instead of A&E?

Yes, we are partnered with some of the leading private health providers. We have direct pathways into the London hospitals, which include access to a network of over 120 private intensive care beds. These beds deliver the same multi-specialist consultant-led care with the added benefit of hotel-comfort and speed of treatment. Subject to the hospital having an authorisation code from your insurer, we can arrange admission in under 2 hours. For those who are self-funded, we can get an admission agreement in as little as 15 minutes.

What blood tests do you do?

We have access to a lab that processes most tests on the same day. Our lab collects samples from us daily, and we can process results directly to your patient portal. Our in-house doctors review the results.

Is this an alternative for A&E?

Yes, our service can cover many of the conditions for which you might attend A&E. Our partnerships with private hospitals help bridge the gap between insurance and urgent care. Many conditions are treatable without spending 18 hours in the A&E waiting room. Our testing and diagnostics are of the same quality as those of NHS, just delivered faster and more effectively.
