If you are entitled to NHS services and are registered with an NHS GP we would ask you to remain registered as urgent and out of hours care, maternity and cancer services are provided by them. St Erme Medical provides an option to supplement these services. We will provide an opinion and advice to our patients but cannot instruct the NHS. Our opinion may be accepted but it will depend on circumstances.
We have an agreement with the NHS in Cornwall for patients entitled to NHS services: if they meet the criteria for rapid access to possible cancer pathways then we can now make the referral. This saves having to go back to the NHS GP. This agreement has not yet been extended to other areas and is work in progress.
