Fortunately, we have not yet had the predicted influenza epidemic this winter, but we have seen a significant number of upper and lower respiratory infections as usual, partly because our cities are damp, polluted, and crowded. The worst polluting agents appear to be nitrogen dioxide from diesel fumes, and Oxford Street in Central London is the worst in the world for this type of pollution
We have 14 years of experience carrying out STI/STD, and HIV tests on thousands of patients at our private walk in clinics. A recurring theme is the use of alcohol in such a way that men and women find themselves in situations that would not occur if they were sober
We carried out phone interviews with Talk Radio and the BBC today about the warning of a winter crisis in hospitals - even though there has not yet been the expected flu epidemic -mainly because we have run successful vaccination campaigns against flu for several years. We have observed fewer respiratory infections this winter compared with other years, probably because of the milder weather.
The SameDayDoctor private doctor walk in clinics in London and Manchester offer the services of several GP's and Advanced Nurse Practitioners with extensive experience in the management of children of all ages. We can manage common skin, respiratory and gastrointestinal conditions, including acute fevers with and without skin rash, colds and chest infections, feeding problems, vomiting and diarrhoea. Furthermore we can also advise on more complex issues including behavioural and development disorders, genetic and familial diseases and the diagnosis of more serious illnesses
SameDayDoctor has partnered with local cardiology services to offer a comprehensive service in the diagnosis and management of diseases of the heart. We have 12 lead ECG machines on site and can run tests such as Troponin T to check for recent cardiac event eg Myocardial infarction (heart attack). We can also run the full preventative profiles including BMI, Blood Pressure, glucose and lipid profiles with cholesterol.
All of our SameDayDoctor private doctor walk in clinics have excellent working relationships with sister radiology teams who can perform X Rays, ultrasound scans, MRI and CT imaging on our patients, sometimes on a same day walk in basis with rapid reporting of results which can be used to obtain onward referrals privately or via the NHS
SameDayDoctor is already renowned for offering same day blood and urine results for STD and HIV tests, which include HIV, Hepatitis A, B, and C, Syphilis, gonorrhoea, chlamydia, NSU, and other sexual health infections
This weekend, as every weekend, our SameDayDoctor clinic in Central London is open Saturday and Sunday for walk-ins and booked appointments to see a private doctor. Our private doctor clinic in the city is running its monthly child vaccination at the BabyJabs clinic, and we are also open in Canary Wharf and Manchester on Saturday
