Children's Health
The NHS provides services for children who are very unwell. We may be able to help with issues that are lingering and a GP can answer. We can also provide visa and other medicals for children when these are required.
What Makes Us Different?
Continuity of Care
Your consultation will be with a doctor and where possible your care will be continued by the same doctor.
Experienced GP's
Our doctors are all up to date and highly experienced. They work as a team when issues are complex and will refer to other specialists if appropriate.
Time to Talk
You will have much longer to tell us your story, to be listened to and to discuss your concerns than is available in NHS General Practice.
Making a Decision
You choose which the option you would like to follow and we will help you to make decision that is informed and right for you.
What Children's Services do we offer?
We offer friendly Children’s GP services and can provide Visa & other medicals if required.
GP Services
We can address ongoing issues and guide you towards the next best step or treatment options for your child.
Visa & Other Medicals
We can provide Visa and medicals if required.
What to Expect
St Erme Medical supplements the services provided by the NHS providing time with experienced doctors, continuity of care and management options that are evidence based and supported by guidance. In addition to problem based consultations, we can offer medicals for insurance, visa and other purposes and health reviews for all.
Those patients who see us in person will be able to park and consult in an environment that is relaxed and welcoming.
1. Contact Us
Whether you contact us by telephone, email or via the website you will be asked to provide an outline of the service you are looking for so that we understand where, how and who we can offer you.
2. Questionnaire
You will be asked to fill in a medical information questionnaire to brief the doctor and allow you to focus on assessing your current situation during the consultation.
3. Confirmation
You will be sent confirmation of your appointment and a reminder the day before. We will invoice and expect payment in advance of the consultation.
Experienced GP's
Our GPs are fully qualified and all have years of experience. Medicine covers many areas, and no one can know everything. There are unknowns and gaps in the data. We will tell you when we cannot answer a question.
We then talk together as expertise is shared within the team and will research issues that we are less sure of.
