Specialist Private GP London - Seniors Health Service

It is very common for those in senior age groups to want to promote a position of good health to their family and friends. It is also common to subtly ignore aches and pains, or not fully want to accept that certain things just don’t work in the same way they once did. Our confidential service is designed specifically for over 65s to be able to talk openly, and without fear of judgement, to a specialist medical professional.

• Bespoke medical consultations enable a safe environment to talk about your health
• Specialist Health Screening aims to detect any medical condition early and seek the best course of treatment
• General medical plans for senior age groups helps you make important lifestyle choices to prevent common and family-related medical conditions

Our promise to you:

The key objective with regular health screening is to detect any health issues early, giving you the opportunity to treat them sooner and enhance the chances of recovery. Regular health screening also gives you peace of mind over minor health defects that you could be worrying over unnecessarily. Prevention is entirely possible with advance awareness of risk areas, allowing you to make educated decisions about your health and lifestyle. A few preventable conditions that affect seniors:
