If you would like to see a doctor for advice about your health
we will be happy to see you. We do not offer a private GP service
- this is largely because we cannot provide emergency cover at nights
and week ends - and we do not treat acute illness. However, we recognise
that people sometimes want to have an unhurried consultation with
a doctor, perhaps to discuss treatment options, to find out whether
symptoms that are bothering them warrant a visit to their GP, or
simply to talk.
You do not need a referral from your GP, and your GP will not be
told of the consultation unless we have your consent. Whilst we
might make recommendations about your treatment, we will not actually
change your treatment or prescribe medication - this should be left
to the discretion of your doctor.
Our consultations are 30 to 60 minutes long and are available between
10am and 4pm, Tuesday to Friday. If you feel that we can help, please
telephone
for an appointment.
Certain sports require a medical examination (e.g. motor racing)
and we can carry these out for you.
Some occupations require you to have medical examinations. Examples
include Heavy Goods Vehicles Drivers (HGV), crane operators fork
lift dfrivers and people who work underground or in confined spaces.
The fees are competitive and corporate rate are available. Please
contact
us for further information.
We can provide medico-legal examinations and reports for Advocates
and their clients, and Advocates may approach us for advice on medical
matters. We can usually carry out examinations within a few days
of referral, and we aim to produce a report within two to three
days of seeing the client. The fees are dependent on the complexity
of the case - please contact
us for further information.
