My Emergency Doctor's Story

My Emergency Doctor was founded in 2016 by Australian-based emergency physician, Dr Justin Bowra (MBBS FACEM CCPU). Driven by his first-hand experience as a Senior Emergency Specialist in a busy emergency department, Dr Bowra wanted to create a service which would provide access to specialist emergency doctors, no matter where they lived.

My Emergency Doctor started as a small group of emergency specialists operating on a rotating call roster to support patients who needed on-demand emergency services. 

Using the power of technology, My Emergency Doctor has now grown to be the leading Australian emergency telemedicine service providing more convenient, quality, and timely access to emergency medical support.

Our vision is to transform emergency care today and tomorrow – and ensure access to an emergency specialist is available whenever the call, and wherever the location.

Today, we consist of a network of emergency physicians supporting metropolitan and regional hospitals, ambulance services, primary health networks, schools, private organisations and individual patients.

Services by My Emergency Doctor in the UK are led by physicians holding a Fellowship of the Royal College of Emergency Medicine. We go through a rigorous selection and credentialing process to ensure the integrity and quality of our consulting  medical professionals, allowing us to serve the community with the highest level of clinical professionalism.

Using the latest mobile and web technology, patients can access emergency medical specialists for virtual face-to-face consultations from the comfort of their home and health care institutions have secondary support for patient surges or staff absences. 

Today, My Emergency Doctor continues to work around the clock to ensure on-demand support and emergency medical access to emergency specialist support anytime, anywhere. 

We are constantly looking for new ways to improve how emergency medicine is supported and accessed as we continually strive towards our primary vision - to transform how emergency medicine is delivered.
