There

- Ask
the doctor - This service is temporarily unavailable.
- Consultation - need some expert medical advice? Maybe a second opinion? We offer
fast, confidential consultations from doctors who care. Your consultation
will be handled by one of a panel of experienced specialists and GPs. Satisfaction promised or your money refunded.
On-line
consultation
The
on-line consultation offers you the opportunity to check your healthstyle,
your symptoms and to be sure that you are doing everything you can to
help maintain good health. We offer the opportunity to have a private
consultation, in your own time and at your own pace. The consultation
will not finish until you are satisfied that you know more about your
problem, and either have the answers you need or know where to go next.
This may be another visit to your NHS GP, further tests, a private appointment
with a specialist or a formal second opinion.
The
consultants want to sort your medical problems out, to provide the best
solution at the lowest cost. There is an enormous potential for improving
your health through on-line consultation. We cannot provide prescriptions
over the internet, but we can advise you which drugs might be suitable
for you, what there side effects are and what the alternatives are.
There is no magic in medicine, only skill, knowledge and experience.
The doctor looks for the cause of your symptoms from the information
you provide. A physical examination narrows down the likely causes,
while tests, X-rays and scans confirm the diagnosis. Not all symptoms
can be understood within orthodox medicine. It is, however important
to exclude serious treatable conditions. On-line Consultations do not
replace face-to-face consultations.
Our on-line doctors can tell you what might be causing
your symptoms, whether they are likely to be serious and what you can
do next. On-line Consultations are about finding choices and alternatives.
Doctors think about problems and symptoms in a particular way. This
form guides you through that process. Once you have submitted the form,
the doctor will review your symptoms. S/he may need to ask further questions.
The doctor will then suggest possible causes for your problem (giving
their reasons) and suggest how you might proceed. It is often difficult
to get a second opinion in the NHS, or even in private practice. People
are often worried about offending their own doctor. This form asks you
to give an account of your illness. Again, the doctor may need to ask
you further questions. It may even be necessary to ask for copies of
your notes. The doctor will then consider whether your diagnosis is
likely to be correct, whether your treatment is reasonable and what
you might need to do to improve your outlook. Sometimes, for example,
a specialist opinion can be useful even if you do not stay under his
care.
Here
is a selection of some of the questions you will be asked:
- Basic
questions such as your age, sex and occupation.
- What
is the problem?
- What symptoms do you have?
- When
did the problem start? How often does it happen and when were you
last completely well?
- What worsens the problem? What makes it better?
- Where
is the pain? Is it always in the same place?
- What
treatment have you had ?
- Do
you have any specific questions that you would like to ask?
Confidentiality
All consultations will take place in a secure environment. Once the
consultation has taken place all identifying information will be deleted
from the system. All doctors have postgraduate qualifications, broad experience, proven
track records and are committed to answering questions in ordinary language.
