Dr Wood has gone above and beyond
My 16 year old daughter was seen by Dr Laura Wood after suffering with constant pain for over 15 days. Dr Wood listened to my daughters concerns, showed a genuine interest in my daughters health, carried out a blood test with results returning the next day, which she called us about as she said she would. This increased our trust in Dr Wood as she did everything she said she would and referred her to the relevant specialist promptly. I believe Dr Wood has gone above and beyond and would highly recommend her to anyone

Without ever feeling rushed
We had such a lovely experience at Mews Medical with Dr Laura Wood. From the moment we arrived, everything ran smoothly, no waiting around, and Dr Wood was so friendly with both me and my daughters. She took the time to really listen and let us cover lots of topics and questions without ever feeling rushed. It made such a difference having a doctor like her at Mews Medical who was so attentive and easy to talk to. There is also a pharmacy on the ground floor to collect any prescriptions you may need which was very handy and time saving! Couldn't recommend Dr Laura Wood and the team at Mews Medical highly enough!

Your questions answered
The things patients most often ask before booking.

Can I be seen the same day?

Do you see children and teenagers?
+
Yes. Both doctors have experience in paediatric care, and we offer a 45 minute Teenage Health Check for teenagers and young adults. [Age range, whether a parent must attend, and links to the children's and teenage health pages to be confirmed]
Do you take private medical insurance?
+
We do not currently offer direct billing to insurers. If your policy covers your treatment, we will provide a detailed receipt to support your claim. Please check your level of cover with your insurer in advance.
Can you refer me to a specialist?
+
Yes. If you need further investigation or specialist care, we can arrange referral to trusted private specialists. Any investigations or referrals are always discussed with you beforehand.
How do repeat prescriptions work?
+
Repeat prescriptions are for registered Mews Medical patients, for medicines we have previously prescribed. Submit a request through the secure form on our repeat prescriptions page; one of our doctors reviews every request. We aim to process requests the same working day and always within 24 working hours. You will need a medication review at least every 12 months, and there is no additional prescription fee once it is done. New medicines, dose changes or new symptoms need a consultation.
What happens out of hours?
+
Our clinics are open Monday to Friday, 9am to 6pm. Outside those hours, our out of hours service is provided by Doctorcall on 0344 257 0345. Mews Medical is not an emergency service: in an emergency call 999 or go to your nearest A&E, or call NHS 111 for urgent advice.
What happens at a teenage health check appointment?
+
The consultation lasts approximately 45 minutes, allowing time for both discussion and examination. The assessment includes a review of medical history and current health concerns, discussion of nutrition, exercise and healthy lifestyle habits, support around body image and confidence, assessment of mental wellbeing including exam stress or anxiety, advice on drugs, alcohol and sexual health where appropriate, a review of vaccination status, a full physical examination and urine testing. Where appropriate, part of the consultation may be conducted confidentially with the young person.
What is your cancellation policy?
+
Please give at least 24 hours' notice to cancel or reschedule. Cancellations within 24 hours may incur a 50% charge of the consultation fee for non-members, and cancellations with less than 12 hours' notice a 100% charge. Missed appointments without notice are charged at 100%. For members, the appointment is deducted from your annual allowance, with a £50 administration fee for a missed appointment. Card details are taken at booking to secure your appointment and are held securely by Stripe.
