Clinical Advice

Please feel able to refer patients to us for advice. It is very helpful to have a standard primary care summary – such as might be used for visiting to cover key areas of patient history and medication. 

If your patient does not wish to book a consultation, we will not offer patient specific advice but will selectively provide generic suggestions.

Where patients self-refer, we will provide them with our advice and on occasions an opinion. We appreciate clinical responsibility and recognise that another healthcare professional and particularly the NHS is under no obligation to follow this advice. Patients are offered private prescriptions and investigations where appropriate. Onward referral will be within the independent sector.

Education and Training

Virtually all educational activity has been online for the last two years. We have decided that the two – day in depth menopause course will stay that way to allow for broad access. Please click here to find out more.

Once we have the use of our new building at St Erme Medical we will be developing a range of practical training small group sessions starting with a DFSRH assessment half day. During the year we will offer specific sessions covering prolapse and pessaries, menopause, progestogen implants for contraception and intrauterine devices. Dates and details will be provided here when available.
