Can I sell items to EMR?
We welcome all customers, whether you are a business or member of the public. You don’t need an appointment to visit our sites, just call in!

What ID do I need to sign up for an account?
You need in-date photo ID and proof of address to sign up. The easiest option is a UK driving licence, as it works for both types of ID.
