ABOUT US

The exciting merger of ERS Medical and E-Zec Medical has enabled us to rebrand, therefore as a combined business we are now known as EMED Group.

Our ambition is to continue developing transport services that improve the health and wellbeing for people across our local communities by providing transport that supports patient care, community support, secure mental health and medical courier services.

• EMED Group are contracted to transfer patients that require a higher level of clinical care than can be supplied by the Patient Transport Service (PTS) This involves the monitoring of patients during their transfer. To monitor the patient a 12 lead ECG, SP02 and NIBP will be used. EMED Group are NOT an emergency service so EMED HDU staff are trained to drive using ‘Blue Lights’ only when they have a patient on the ambulance. All HDU patients for transport will be transferred from a hospital to a care facility for a higher level of treatment. These patients will have been diagnosed by the transferring unit so will just need monitoring during their transfer, with the potential for paramedic interventions if their condition warrants it for continuation of care or if their clinical presentation deteriorates whilst on-route.
