What Makes Us Different?
Are you looking for experience, confidentiallity and discretion?
Continuity of Care
Your consultation will be with a doctor and where possible your care will be continued by the same doctor.
Experienced GPs
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 Sexual Health Services do we offer?
We offer a range of sexual health services, from contraception to STI screening.
Contraception
We can offer all methods of reversible contraception.
STI Risk Assessment
We offer testing for a range of sexually transmitted infections, including for HIV.
Erectile Dyfunction
If erectile dysfunction is a problem for you and your partner we can start the process of evaluating whether there is a treatable cause. We will offer a cardiovascular risk assessment as well as a hormone check and if appropriate examination. We can provide a private prescription for the oral medications available to help.
Sexual Dysfunction
We can help with assessment to understand the basis of your difficulty and the options available to help.
Who Can We See?
We can see anyone with a problem in this area. We have some experience with non-binary and transgender people but will not initiate hormone modification programmes.
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. As leaders in our field we can offer advice to all women, even those with highly complex histories.
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 issue which you find embarassing or difficult to talk about. We will not find it difficult.
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 Doctors
Our Doctors 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 share expertise within the team and will research issues that we are less sure of.
We understand fully how intimate and embarassing sexual matters can be. Results will not be shared with the NHS or any other body unless you choose to.
