... in search of Total Health
Of course, there is no shortage of health information available today and sometimes if quantity overtakes quality, there can be too much. Frankly, it can be hard sometimes to know what information is trustworthy and correct, but when it comes to making decisions about your health, getting the best information is so important.
This is why we aim to give pure, impartial, trustworthy medical information provided directly by some of the most highly qualified and experienced doctors in the UK.
Patients should be well informed
In an era of ‘patient choice’, it is important that patients have access to quality, up-to-date information. We asked leading doctors from acknowledged centres of excellence to provide this information.
The quality of the information comes down to the knowledge and skill of the author. Our articles are all written by highly respected doctors with international reputations who are demonstrably some of the leaders in their respective fields. We hope what they have written will be useful for you when you make your health decisions.
Here is a handy guide on how to plan for your appointment.
