Here are some tips to nurture your mental well-being this Christmas:

There are quite often some misconceptions about seeing a private Doctor…

🌳Contrary to popular belief, private GPs may offer various pricing options, and the overall cost might be more reasonable than assumed.

🌳 Inaccessible to Insured Individuals: Private GPs often accept health insurance, making their services accessible to a broader population with coverage.

🌳Long Waits for Appointments: Private GPs typically provide quicker appointments and reduced waiting times compared to public healthcare services.

🌳Private GPs offer a wide range of services beyond basic consultations, including a large range of tests and comprehensive health assessments.

🌳No Continuity of Care: Private GPs often prioritize building ongoing relationships with patients, ensuring continuity of care and a better understanding of individual health needs.

🌳Only for Emergencies: Private GPs address both acute and chronic health concerns, offering preventive care and health maintenance, not just in emergency situations.

🌳Less Qualified than Public GPs: Private GPs are often highly qualified professionals, and some may have additional specialties or expertise and work in both sectors.

🌳While private healthcare may offer additional tests, private GPs focus on tailored, evidence-based medicine, avoiding unnecessary procedures.

🌳No Collaboration with the NHS: Private GPs often collaborate with the NHS, ensuring seamless referrals and integrated care when needed.

Lifestyle medicine is a medical approach that emphasises the role of healthy habits and behaviours in prevention and the management of diseases.

We focus on lifestyle factors such as nutrition, physical activity, stress management, sleep, and avoiding harmful substances to improve your overall well-being.

This approach encourages individuals to make positive choices that contribute to their long-term health and quality of life.

What might lifestyle medicine look like to me? 👀

🌳 Why Pear Tree Health's approach is different...

🩺 Here at Pear Tree Health we look for the root cause of vour health issues.

ℹ️ What does this mean for me?

In medical terms, a root cause approach involves identifying and addressing the fundamental reason behind a health issue rather than just treating symptoms. It aims to uncover the primary factor contributing to a patient's condition, enabling more effective and sustainable solutions.
This approach often involves thorough analysis, diagnostic tests, and consideration of various factors to determine the underlying cause of the medical problem.
