Our rapidly growing network covers over 350 GP sites in the UK representing over 3,500,000 patients as well as a network of US healthcare providers representing a further 3 million patients. uMed was founded by an NHS doctor and is backed by UK and US venture capital.

What patients think of uMed
“ When I first got the message from my GP I wasn’t sure if I was going to sign up as I’m not very good with the internet.
But I called the Helpline and the uMed Nurse explained everything to me and I’m really happy that I called. I’m looking forward to being part of Access PD “
