Dr Bhadresha MBBS MRCGP (Oxford) founded GP and Me  on the principle of exceptional patient care at your convenience. We also offer video appointments, as well as a range of secondary care and specialist services. Needless to say, we treat each consultation with the utmost respect and discretion, but we are also happy to communicate with your regular doctor if you so wish.

Dr Bhadresha  studied Medicine at Oxford University and King’s College London. He qualified in 2013, before completing his foundation training at St Thomas’ Hospital. He then completed  formal vocational training in General Practice.  In addition, we are passionate about our charitable enterprise. We believe that access to healthcare is imperative for all, and so some  of our profits will go into setting up a GP and Me clinic in Ghana.

Your local doctor or GP is your first point of contact for non-emergency and preventative medical care during clinic hours (which will vary for each clinic). GPs are trained in medicine and are qualified to treat people for general health problems, such as illnesses or injuries that cannot be treated by over-the-counter medication. Some GPs specialise in particular areas, such as children’s health or aged care.

Developing an ongoing relationship with one GP is often the most effective way of managing your healthcare. They will get to know you over time and become familiar with your medical history. You may need to visit a few GPs before you find the one who you trust most and feel comfortable with.

If you are seeing multiple healthcare practitioners for either the same or different health issues, your GP is the best person to coordinate your overall healthcare.

Typical services provided by a GP include:

• diagnosing and treating disease, pain and other conditions
• vaccinations
• mental health advice
• family planning advice
• wound care
• prescribing medication
• writing referrals for tests or scans
• referring you to specialists.
