St Erme Medical is independent in many respects. We choose our pathology laboratory and support services, ensuring that they meet our high standards. We do not have access to NHS (or any other) medical records.
We adhere to the same regulations and follow guidance as does the NHS and are inspected by the care quality commission in the same way.
If we provide a prescription, you will pay the cost and dispensing fee to the pharmacy. This is not covered by prepayment or exemption certificates provided by the NHS. You can choose your local pharmacy or Pharmacierge who are a London based company who only dispense privately. They can do this for anyone in the UK as we email the prescription and they arrange delivery,
If we refer for investigation, a consultant opinion or more specialist treatment it will be within the independent sector.
