GP Special Interests

Eating Disorders

If you are suffering with an eating disorder and would like help in resolving this, we would encourage you to make an appointment with any of our doctors.

Eating disorders frequently start in young adulthood and can have a major impact on relationships, the ability to study and health. Patients with the shortest time between onset of abnormal eating behaviours and seeking help tend to have the better prognosis.

As a University practice with a younger population we see an above average number of people with eating problems and have close links with the local NHS Eating Disorders Service in Liverpool and Sefton, with one of our GP’s working within their team as medical advisor for the last 9 years. For more information visit the Eating Disorders Association (EDA) website.

Weight Managment

Obesity affects 20% of the British population and has become more prevalent in younger people in the last decade. We offer a non judgemental approach to weight management and weight reduction and recognise this as a multifactorial problem that causes significant distress to those affected. If you would like help with your weight please make an appointment with one of our doctors or nurses. For more information visit www.patient.co.uk.
