Stage 1 · History
Taken properly, with time to answer.
Our services, in detail
Four services, all provided by GMC-registered doctors.
Program 01 · The history comes first
GP consultations
Most of the useful information in medicine is in the history, and taking one properly takes longer than a short appointment allows. We also say plainly when something needs investigating, a specialist, or simply time — and when the honest answer is that the NHS is the better route for what you need.
Stage 2 · Examination
Before any plan is made.
Stage 3 · Plan
Explained, with the reasoning.
Stage 4 · Honest routing
Including when the NHS is better.
Stage 1 · What is useful
For your age and risk, not a panel.
Stage 2 · Tests
Taken, with timescales given.
Stage 3 · Explained
In a conversation, including borderline.
Stage 4 · Follow-up
Arranged where something needs it.
Program 02 · Results explained, not posted
Health checks & screening
A screening result emailed without context causes more anxiety than it resolves. Every result is explained in a conversation, including the borderline ones, and we are honest that screening finds incidental things that then need following up — which is part of the decision to screen at all.
Program 03 · Weeks before, not days
Travel health & vaccinations
Some vaccine courses need weeks to complete and some need boosters spaced apart, so coming in a fortnight before a trip limits what is possible. We assess the actual itinerary rather than the country, because risk varies enormously within one.
Stage 1 · Itinerary
Regions, rural or urban, and season.
Stage 2 · Risk
Assessed against your history.
Stage 3 · Schedule
Timed so courses can complete.
Stage 4 · Records
Certificates and documentation given.
Stage 1 · Consultation
Always first. No exceptions.
Stage 2 · Clinical view
Formed properly, then documented.
Stage 3 · Issued
Where it is justified.
Stage 4 · Declined
Where it is not, with the reason.
Program 04 · Where clinically justified
Sick notes & referrals
These follow a consultation rather than replace one. We will not issue a sick note, a letter or a prescription without seeing you and forming a clinical view — including when that means declining. Controlled drugs carry additional limits we follow without exception.
