Our vision for neighbourhood care and the NHS 10 Year Plan

Specialist care without the wait: A community led, digital first approach

Our model
Redefining specialist care, together
Introducing Medefer

An opportunity to rethink specialist care

Neighbourhood teams are central to the NHS 10‑Year Plan, yet fragmented access to specialists still creates too many hand‑offs, delays and long outpatient waits. Medefer offers a different route: a proven, digital first model that lets local teams draw on a national consultant network exactly when they need it.

How our model supports the NHS 10 Year Plan

Earlier intervention: Faster diagnostics and consultant input.
Digitally enabled delivery: Virtual clinics remove unnecessary travel.
Community focused care: Tests and procedures closer to home.
Joined‑up working: With a shared purpose.
Proactive, personalised care: Advice and follow‑up tailored to the person.
Better use of existing capacity: Avoids waste and delays, unlocking clinical time.

Redefining specialist care, together

Specialist care often feels disconnected, a hand‑off, a delay, the next step. Medefer enables:

Faster access to specialist care
Shared care planning with GPs and neighbourhood teams
Earlier specialist support for prevention and long term condition management
A collaborative approach to problem‑solving

Specialist input becomes part of the team, not a separate track.

Community Diagnostic Centres and neighbourhood hubs are strong foundations. Medefer adds real‑time coordination:

Diagnostic access across neighbourhood and regional footprints
Specialist triage and review integrated with booking process
Patient choice of location and modality
Faster results, fewer unnecessary appointments

Digital first, locally responsive, nationally supported.

The traditional model is “refer, see, discharge.” Real care is continuous. Medefer offers:

Rapid advice for referrers
Virtual MDT participation and shared case reviews
Specialist input into long term condition management
Partnership in early‑diagnosis and prevention projects

Participation in virtual MDTs and planning sessions
Use of shared records and decision tools
Support for GPs, clinicians, navigators and local charities

Our approach is collaborative, not declarative, supportive, not structural, opportunity led, not authority driven. We adapt to your system, not the other way round.
