About dual memberships
If you have an eMed (private healthcare service) and a GP at Hand account (NHS GP service), you can switch between your memberships in the eMed app to choose which service to use. You may have access to both if you have registered for GP at Hand as your NHS GP practice and also have eMed through your employer/ insurer.
If you are a GP at Hand member, we recommend keeping your membership type as GP at Hand (please note, applicable costs will apply for eMed's private healthcare service). Clinicians will be able to see your full medical history and offer all the same services as eMed private clinicians. This includes private referrals and prescriptions. You'll also get any routine invites for NHS appointments through the app.
Find out the difference between eMed Private and GP at Hand.
