MEDICS NHS: Molesey, Esher and Dittons Integrated Care Services
MEDICS vision: Our goal is to create a system of care which focuses upon what patient need rather than what the institutions can provide, and which brings together caring agencies to individualise care and meet patients’ specific personal circumstances. We call this type of care ‘Integrated care’ and we deliver it through a process called 'The Gateway’.
MEDICS was founded in 2006. It is an NHS provider organisation which assists GPs when their patients need to be referred for more specialised care.
MEDICS maintains an up-to-date database on the over 200 care options available locally. For those cases which do not need the high-tech approach of a hospital, MEDICS provides clinics in the community - closer to where people live – in GP surgeries and community facilities. By increasing options in the community, the MEDICS practices are able to offer their patients an enhanced level of choice.
All services provided through MEDICS are free-of-charge NHS services.
