General Medicine

General Medicine encompasses a wide range of healthcare services to provide comprehensive medical care to individuals of all ages, genders, and illnesses.

It's the foundation of primary health care, focusing on diagnosing, treating, and preventing nonsurgical conditions. Everyone can benefit from General Medicine for acute medical issues, chronic disease management, preventive care, or health screenings.

General Practitioners (GPs) serve as your first point of contact, offering personalised care and guiding them through the healthcare system.

What Preventive Services Does General Medicine Provide?

Preventive care is fundamental to General Medicine, aimed at detecting health issues early and preventing disease.

This includes routine health screenings, immunisations, heart disease and cancer risk assessments, and lifestyle counselling.

GPs work with patients to develop personalised preventive care plans, focusing on maintaining long-term health and wellness.

How Are Acute Medical Conditions Handled?

GPs are skilled in diagnosing and treating many acute medical conditions, such as infections, injuries, and sudden illnesses. They provide immediate care, prescribe medications, perform minor procedures, and, if necessary, refer patients to appropriate specialists.

The aim is to offer prompt, effective treatment to alleviate symptoms and resolve the condition.

Can General Medicine Manage Chronic Diseases?

Yes, chronic disease management is a critical component of General Medicine.

GPs play a vital role in the ongoing care of conditions like

  • Hypertension
  • Diabetes
  • Asthma
  • Arthritis

Through regular monitoring, medication management, lifestyle modifications, and coordination with specialists, GPs help patients manage their conditions effectively, improving their quality of life and preventing complications.

How Does General Medicine Support Women’s Health?

Women's health is a specialised area within General Medicine that addresses conditions and issues unique to females throughout their lifespan.

This includes:

  • Reproductive and Sexual Health
  • Breast and Cervical Cancer Screenings
  • Osteoporosis Management
  • Menopause Care

GPs provide counselling on contraception, family planning, and pregnancy-related concerns, ensuring holistic care that encompasses both physical and emotional well-being.

What Services Are Offered for Men’s Health?

Men's health, another crucial aspect of General Medicine, focuses on conditions more common or exclusive to males.

This includes:

  • Prostate Health
  • Erectile Dysfunction
  • Testosterone Deficiency
  • Testicular Cancer Screenings

GPs also address lifestyle-related issues, such as cardiovascular health, diabetes management, and mental health, offering preventive advice and treatment options tailored to men's health needs.

What is the Botulinum Toxin?

We offer Botulinum Toxin injections, a highly effective treatment for reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, as well as managing conditions such as chronic migraine, excessive sweating (hyperhidrosis), and muscle spasticity.

This service involves precise injections that temporarily relax the muscles, leading to a smoother, rejuvenated appearance and alleviation of symptoms associated with certain medical conditions. Our expertise ensures a safe, tailored approach to each patient’s needs, delivering natural-looking results with minimal discomfort.

What Does our Injectable Filler Treatment Include?

Injectable Filler Treatment offers a non-surgical solution for enhancing facial contours, smoothing out wrinkles, and restoring volume lost due to ageing.

Our General Practitioners are skilled in the art of aesthetic medicine, providing safe and effective treatments tailored to meet your individual needs and aesthetic goals. Using only the highest quality, FDA-approved injectable fillers, we carefully target specific areas of the face to achieve natural-looking results that rejuvenate and refresh your appearance.

Whether you're looking to diminish fine lines, plump up lips, or enhance cheekbones, our injectable filler treatments are designed to provide immediate improvements with minimal downtime. We are committed to helping you look and feel your best, offering personalised care in a professional and welcoming environment.

What Are The Benefits of Our Thread Lifting Treatment?

Thread Lifting offers a revolutionary, minimally invasive solution for those seeking to lift and rejuvenate their skin without the need for traditional surgery. Our skilled General Practitioners are trained in the latest thread-lifting techniques, using biodegradable threads to gently lift and tighten sagging skin, promoting a more youthful and refreshed appearance.

This innovative treatment is ideal for enhancing facial contours, reducing wrinkles, and improving skin texture with natural-looking results. The threads also stimulate collagen production, providing long-term benefits and further enhancing skin elasticity and firmness. With minimal downtime and immediate effects, our Thread Lifting Treatment is perfect for individuals looking to achieve significant anti-ageing results in a safe, efficient manner.

We are dedicated to providing advanced aesthetic solutions that cater to your unique needs, ensuring you receive the highest standard of care and results that exceed your expectations.

What is Hormone Optimisation?

Hormone Optimisation is a comprehensive service designed to help individuals achieve balance and well-being through the management of hormonal levels. Our team of healthcare professionals, including General Practitioners with expertise in endocrinology and age management, offers personalised assessments and treatments tailored to address hormonal imbalances that can affect;

  • energy levels,
  • mood,
  • metabolism,
  • and overall health.

Utilising advanced diagnostic tools, we evaluate your hormone levels to identify deficiencies or excesses and develop a customised treatment plan.

This plan may include bioidentical hormone replacement therapy (BHRT), lifestyle modifications, nutrition planning, and supplements aimed at restoring optimal hormone balance. Our goal is to alleviate symptoms associated with hormonal imbalances, such as fatigue, weight gain, mood swings, and diminished libido, ensuring you feel revitalised and rejuvenated.

What Role Does General Medicine Play in Mental Health?

General Medicine also addresses mental health, recognising its importance to overall well-being. GPs are often the first to identify signs of mental health issues, such as depression, anxiety, and stress-related disorders.

They offer counselling, medication, and referrals to mental health specialists, providing support and treatment within a confidential and caring environment.

General Medicine at CPT High Performance Centre offers a comprehensive suite of services designed to meet the diverse health needs of our community. From preventive care and chronic disease management to specialised support for women's and men's health, our GPs are committed to providing personalised, patient-centred care.

We believe in treating the whole person, not just the symptoms, and ensuring everyone receives the highest healthcare standard to lead a healthy, fulfilling life.
