How we help

Our Services

Private Medical
Concierge

ISEM’s consultants provide discreet and comprehensive medical services to high net worth individuals and visiting heads of state. Our medical concierge service provide a wide range of on-demand healthcare to private individuals who require a level of service not typically covered by traditional insurance plans.


We offer personalised and direct access to 24/7 consultant-delivered medical care, when you need it and where you need it.

Private Emergency Medical Care

Working with an independent ambulance provider and independent hospitals, we provide immediate, safe and efficient emergency medical care*. Our consultants have access to advanced diagnostics and will initiate emergency treatment whilst rapidly identifying the problem and working with you to select the best treatment plan.

*ISEM provides care for almost all emergencies except for immediately life-threatening conditions (e.g heart attack, stroke, major trauma, severe burns, advanced frailty and mental health emergencies which are best managed in public specialist centres).

Peri-Operative
Medical Care

Sometimes people undergoing surgery in the private sector encounter a medical emergency before or after their operation. Most private hospitals do not have consultants in emergency care on site, so patients with unexpected medical problems are often transferred as an emergency to the local public hospital where they join the queue in an overcrowded A&E.

Our team of medical consultants have responded to more than 100 peri-operative emergencies in the last year alone, delivering rapid and safe emergency care within the private hospital, avoiding emergency transfers to the public system.
