Our doctors and health advisers… Hide

We choose our doctors carefully; normally they will have been qualified for at least five years and have a broad background of medical experience. Many will have a higher degree – MRCGP, MRCP or equivalent. All will have undergone a training programme to familiarise them with the concept of health assessment and Bupa protocols. All are subject to an initial three-month appraisal and then annual appraisals thereafter, with regular notes audits and report checks.

Our health advisers are all either registered nurses, degree qualified exercise physiologists or hold other health related degrees. All have been specially trained by Bupa so that they have an in-depth understanding of wellbeing and health as it can be influenced by lifestyle. All health advisers are subject to regular appraisal.
