Services
Men's Health
Specialist assessment and management of male-specific health concerns including testosterone deficiency, erectile dysfunction, and premature ejaculation. Our comprehensive approach combines detailed medical history, blood testing, and tailored treatment plans incorporating hormone replacement therapy and PDE5 inhibitors. With particular expertise in complex cases often overlooked in standard NHS care, we provide confidential consultations and ongoing monitoring to restore patients' quality of life.
Travel Immunisation
Complete travel health service offering essential vaccinations for international destinations including hepatitis, meningitis, and typhoid. We provide expert advice on destination-specific health risks, administer required immunisations, and issue official vaccination certificates. While excluding yellow fever, our clinic offers rapid immunisation programmes and specialist travel medication prescriptions to ensure comprehensive protection for global travellers.
Weight Management
Structured weight loss programme utilising GLP-1 receptor agonists like semaglutide alongside lifestyle modifications. This evidence-based protocol includes initial assessment with BMI measurement, blood testing, and personalised exercise/nutrition plans. Through progressive dose titration and regular monitoring, we address obesity-related comorbidities while promoting sustainable weight reduction with medical supervision at every stage of treatment.
Health Screening
Preventative health assessments covering cardiovascular risk, diabetes screening, and general wellness evaluations. Our diagnostic services include UKAS-certified COVID-19 testing, cholesterol profiling, and comprehensive blood analysis. These screenings enable early detection of potential health issues while maintaining strict confidentiality, with results discussed directly with patients unless explicit permission is given to share with NHS GPs.
Private GP Services
Direct access to specialist GP consultations without waiting lists, offering flexible appointment scheduling and extended consultation times. Services include insurance medicals, prescription management, and specialist referrals to Oaks Hospital for diagnostic imaging. Our approach prioritises thorough patient-doctor communication, with options for telephone consultations and secure prescription delivery to local pharmacies.
