Before enrolling in the GP training, she had placements in Ear, Nose and Throat (ENT),
General Psychiatry, Medicine for Older People, Emergency Medicine (A&E) and Obstetrics and Gynaecology (O&G). Her GP training has further exposed her to Paediatrics, Cardiology, Trauma & Orthopaedics (T&O) and Stroke Medicine. Dr Lau’s extensive experience across both medical and surgical specialities gives her a unique ability to practise holistically.
She has a special interest in ENT and is able to carry out microsuction, removal of foreign
bodies and nasal cautery. Outside of her clinical work, she is a strong believer in medical
education and is currently a tutor for Imperial College London Medical Students.
Driven by her passion in maintaining a balance in health and wellbeing which is reflective in
her medical practice, she is currently working towards becoming a Personal Trainer and an
Exercise Referral Specialist who supports patients with chronic physical conditions or
illnesses in order to improve their health and well-being. Needless to say, you can find Dr
Lau in the gym or enjoying Muay Thai during her free time.
Professional Memberships
• MRCGP
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.
