Introducing Anna the Pharmacist : If you have any questions or concerns regarding your medications, you can book a free appointment with our resident pharmacist Anna. She is available on Thursdays and by appointment.
Ghassan the Osteopath:
Ghassan is well experienced in integrating medical acupuncture with osteopathic treatment and sports medicine, to provide his patients superior treatment. He is also experienced in prescribing the correct exercise program for every individual patient to help treat a wide variety of acute and chronic conditions.
This month Dr Dan writes about Zinc, drawing on a new study published in the British Journal of Clinical Pharmacology. The researchers found that taking 70-100mg of zinc daily while sick can reduce the duration of infection by up to 3 days. No other supplement has this kind of dramatic effect on a cold.
