What are medical conditions?
A medical condition is any health issue that affects how you feel, think, move, or manage day-to-day tasks. Some are mild and resolve quickly, while others may need a GP consultation for detailed assessment, diagnostics, treatment, referral, or sick notes if required. Whether it is about physical, sexual, or mental health, feel free to talk to a doctor.
When you consult Dr Faizal, it helps you understand what type of condition you may have and whether you require a full health MOT or a treatment prescription right away. He prescribes medicines in line with MHRA guidance, and you do not need long waiting times to see your GP. Your consultation is always unhurried and confidential, and you can ask anything to stay informed.
