Servicing health professionals

In-home nursing and care organisations

GE-MED can provide rapid support for situations at home that necessitate a doctor’s intervention.

We generally intervene in the unavailability of the patient’s GP or for the following circumstances:

 

  • Significant change in the patient’s condition
  • Patient’s current medication requires prompt re-evaluation
  • Decisions to make that require a doctor’s approval
  • Questions requiring a doctor’s opinion

Retirement homes and assisted living facilities

Our doctors intervene for various types of cases involving patients in retirement homes and assisted living facilities.

When the resident doctor or patient’s GP is unavailable, we primarily respond for the following situations: 

  • Urgent interventions
  • On-request consultations from GPs for  their resident patients
  • Attestations and death certificates

 

Hospital emergency departments and medical centres

Emergency departments and medical centres can refer patients to us in the event of overcrowding or demands from patients requiring urgent care but are unable to leave their homes.

We can quickly dispatch a doctor to the patient’s location.

For vital emergencies or critical situations, please call 144.

For each consultation, a medical report will be promptly sent to the patient’s GP.

Close collaboration with 144

When we determine a case to be a vital emergency, we contact the service 144 for immediate intervention.  Reciprocally, 144 directs most non-vital cases to GE-MED for urgent response.
