About Medefer

We work alongside the NHS to provide a virtual outpatient service and deliver better, faster care for patients. Our vision is to completely reframe the way that healthcare is delivered, because every patient deserves the best possible healthcare.

There really isn’t a much better purpose, and we can and do make a difference for patients every single day. People who are sick, worried, or in pain desperately want to have a doctor review their symptoms and get them on the path to health again, or even just put their mind at rest. Medefer makes that happen. WE make that happen. We are included in the NHS Increasing Capacity Framework, and we are CQC regulated.

We are a ground-breaking healthcare company.

We are unique in what we do.

And we need exceptional people, like you.
