Preventive Care
The PHMC team believe in a holistic approach to healthcare - even though the doctors that work here are independent practitioners, we work together to ensure that we are working towards to same goals.
Holistic care involves an interest in all aspects of a person’s health, i.e. social, mental, emotional & physical. Great emphasis is placed on preventative health care:
“prevention is better than cure”
Evidence has shown that leading a healthy lifestyle can prevent illness and improve your quality of life. A regular preventative health check can outline areas of concern, or define changes in lifestyle needed to prevent illness.
