Holmlands Med Ctr

Holmlands Medical Centre Pros: Having been a patient with what I had always regarded as a welcoming and professional GP Practice for some 20 years, I was, somewhat apprehensive when it was announced it was to merge with what could best be described as a large “Health Centre.” Sadly, in what was a depressingly short period of time the “personal touch“ which was so highly valued by myself and countless others was lost. I did attempt to embrace the new regime but to no avail. I became frustrated that I no longer enjoyed the sort of hitherto one-to-one relationship with any of the practitioners. Each appointment left me feeling I was on some sort of fast-moving conveyor belt. “ Beat-the-Clock “ style manner and then exit…always inside ten minutes. So, in January of 2017 as my sense of discontent with the new set-up continued to rise, I set about researching alternative local health professionals. It was at this point - to my immense relief I came across the Holmlands Medical Centre ( HMC ). A matter of just three words – yet an establishment which was to transform my life physically, mentally and emotionally. Hugely professional, attentive, welcoming, friendly, caring – the list is endless. Hand on heart, I have been totally amazed by my transformation since I placed my trust in HMC. After undergoing some initial blood tests I made a series of fundamental changes to my lifestyle; the results not only speak for themselves but are, in my admittedly biased opinion, remarkable. Weight: Lost two stones in eight months. Smoking: After almost a lifetime of smoking I, with HMC’s encouragement and expert advice, managed to kick the habit which (incredibly) means that I am now saving money and invest in extra maths and english tutorials for my eight year old niece. And so now, instead of sitting around at home smoking I have rediscovered the joys of travel and spending quality time with family and friends. I now participate with a local walking & an exercise group. I also volunteer at a local Barnardo’s shop three days a week. What a transformation. These hugely significant changes in my life have come about as a direct result of my being treated and supervised by a caring team of professionals at HMC, a dedicated team which looks proactively at my health and work cycles in order to improve my health. They have, in essence, provided me with the tools to make a real and lasting difference in my life. This is a challenge which I have accepted. So now, it’s up to me. They advise me. I can choose to take on board their advice and make my life better…….or I could ignore it. I won’t. Holmlands Medical Centre Cons: I do sometimes find that I often have to wait longer than expected for my pre-booked appointment. But, this, I believe is the very small price I am required to pay for the very best health care available!

After a consultation with the doctor he made a thorough and prompt diagnosis which I believe may have saved my life. I was referred to our local hospital immediately were further tests discovered blood clots in my brain and lung. Preventative treatment was started without further delay. I might add that the diagnosis had not been made when I had been examined earlier by other health professionals when I had attended the a&e department. The doctor I saw had recognised the seriousness of my condition immediately which I believe is due to his experience and commitment to his patients.
