We are committed to wellbeing and encourage our patients to be proactive about their own health. We offer well woman clinics to all our female patients which involves two consultations; one with the nurse and one with the doctor.

A comprehensive medical examination and medical investigations are undertaken and advice given on preventative health care and lifestyle. Any issues that emerge are discussed with the patient and managed appropriately.
The following issues are addressed in consultations:
