Common Conditions
Do you have a problem that is bothering you and wish to make an appointment with a GP? We can help you understand and manage it.
What Makes Us Different?
We provide a traditional, experienced and evidence-based approach.
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 Common Conditions Can We Help With?
We can support you with a range of common conditions, from muscle and joint pain to cardiovascular health and more.
Muscles & Joints
We can listen, examine and advise. We can arrange blood tests and imaging if appropriate and refer you to a private specialist with your permission.
Cardiovascular Assessments
We can offer cardiovascular risk assessment and referral for more specialist assessment when appropriate. We can help you to manage ongoing issues such as high blood pressure and cholesterol but the NHS will often pick this up.
Respiratory Conditions
We can assess and examine common respiratory conditions and arrange chest x-rays if needed, in the private sector. These are done in one of the private hospitals.
Gut Health
We can help with the assessment of problems with the upper or lower gut that are not settling down and arrange investigations as indicated
Neurological Problems
Come and talk to us if you have headaches or any other nervous system disorder that is bothering you. We will help you understand what is going on.
Kidney & Bladder
We can assess kidney or bladder problems that are not settling down and also help urinary infections.
Other Health Concerns
We have a team of experienced GP’s who can support you with a range of health concerns. If your problem is not listed above, just ask!
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.
Enquire Now
Do not suffer in silence – do something about that health problem that has been niggling for a while. Take stock of your health and look at what you can do to improve things now and reduce risks for the future. Do not assume that because you have a long term health issue that nothing can be done to help other problems that are affecting how you feel and what you can do.
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.
