Take Control Of Your Health
Wouldn’t it be great to take control of your health and understand your body better? That’s exactly what you can do with Fylde Private GP, writes Meena McDonald
At Fylde GP you can book a health MOT which will provide an assessment and important details about your health and wellbeing to potentially identify any underlying issues, Matthew Cook, Managing Director, said: “At Fylde Private GP we believe it is crucial for people to understand their health better and take proactive measures to prevent any potential health issues or tackle them at an early stage. The health MOT includes numerous tests such as blood pressure, electrocardiogram (ECG), height, weight, oxygen levels, BMI plus comprehensive blood tests including diabetes, cholesterol, iron, thyroid and liver. The general health questionnaire and tests are completed with the nurse and are sent for analysis, and these are reviewed by the GP who produces a summary report outlining your health and wellbeing and highlighting any potential areas of concern which can be quickly addressed.”
Those on the Fylde Private GP Gold Membership have the health MOT included in their annual plan and can therefore take advantage of this extremely beneficial test. Those on the silver package receive a discount on their MOT and anyone else wishing to undertake the test can book it for just £185.
A full health check upgrade is also available for an additional £100 (total £285) which involves a face to face consultation with the GP, who will also carry out a physical examination of the patient covering areas such as the abdomen, eyes, ears, throat and lungs.
Corporate packages are available for large organisations and SMEs, reflecting their investment in their staff, as well as reducing staff absence and keeping productivity at its optimum level.
Matthew continued: “We never question taking our car in for its annual MOT or service and paying for its maintenance, yet many people are hesitant about investing in their health, which is far more important. We want to encourage as many people as possible to have MOTs to identify any health issues and develop heathier lifestyle habits. Health problems can be dealt with quickly and efficiently with clear pathways identified to access specific health specialists, should they be required.”
Since opening at the end of October Fylde Private GP has experienced an excellent take up of their Annual Membership plans. The positive feedback from patients reflects how valued and cared for they feel with the lengthier appointments with the GP.
Matthew concluded: “We want to empower patients to understand their health and wellbeing and support them to make positive decisions about their lifestyle. Our goal is to help people in the local area live healthier and happier lives.”
