GP Services
Having a GP is important for coordinating and optimising your health care. Several issues can be dealt with by a GP with a breadth of knowledge, which can save you money, time, and effort.
Contact Form
What You Can Expect…
- Confidentiality: everything spoken about within a consultation stays strictly between him and his patient. Exceptions to this rule include: if the information shared indicates someone else is in danger, or if the patient lacks capacity or has a severe mental illness clouding their judgement.
- Clarity: education is a key part of his consultations and he will work with you to improve your understanding of your medical conditions, what your medicines are for, and what the future might look like.
- Respect: Dr Tawfik believes that treating all patients and staff with respect is a must for any doctor. We all make lifestyle decisions, and these decisions may lead to ill health. His role is not to judge, but to advise you on what could be contributing to your ill health and how things could get better.
- Transparency: all prices for the GP service are clear to see in the GP section of the website. There are no hidden costs, and after a consultation, any further tests or recommendations will be itemised and priced so you can make an informed decision to go forward with them or not.
Routine Medical Screening/Check-Up
If you are otherwise fit and well and want to have a medical check-up, then this is the most appropriate service.
A full check-up includes:
- Initial consultation to discuss health issues including full examination
- Well-man and well-woman blood tests
- Urine analysis
- Electrocardiogram – an electrical trace of the heart
- Spirometry – a test of lung function
- Mammogram (for breast cancer screening)
- Faecal occult blood test (for bowel cancer screening)
- Sexual health screening.
Repeat Prescriptions
Personalised Service catering to your needs
If you are an existing patient and we have up-to-date records of your medicines, we can write a repeat prescription without the need for a consultation.
This can be sent to a chemist of your choice or picked up from the practice.
It takes time to ensure you can safely have more medicine. For example, kidney function or liver function tests may need to be updated before it is safe to say that it is fine to keep taking your medication.
Why Having a GP is Important
A GP is a Family Doctor with specialist expertise in dealing with a large variety of health disorders and social needs.
Having a GP is important for coordinating and optimising your health care. Several issues can be dealt with by a GP with a breadth of knowledge, which can save you money, time, and effort.
When specialist input is required, your GP will make targeted referrals to trusted colleagues or a specialist of your choice. After seeing a specialist, consultation reports can be sent back to your GP so that he or she has a clear and up-to-date view of your medical history. This will prevent unnecessary duplication of tests and clashes in any medications you are taking.
Above all, the purpose of a GP is to be a doctor you and your family can build a relationship with; someone you can trust and confide in.
