Our story

Back in 2004, a group of GPs founded Wiltshire Medical Services (WMS) to run GP Out of Hours services for the North Wiltshire Primary Care Group. 

Through ongoing consolidation and reconfiguration, WMS developed and matured into a respected and trusted provider of high quality, flexible services that consistently met the needs of the Wiltshire health community.

WMS’s successful tendering for an Urgent Care service across Wiltshire in 2010 provided the springboard into our next phase, including providing Telecare Alarm Monitoring and Mobile Response services, and a joint health/social care rapid response service aimed at preventing inappropriate hospital admissions and enabling early discharge.

The company was renamed Medvivo in 2013 and continues to grow, innovate and develop in line with the evolving care needs of people.
