General consultations
New symptoms, lingering ones, and the things you have been meaning to ask about for months.
Everyday healthcare, unhurried
Hollow Margin Clinic is a small general practice built around longer consultations and the same familiar clinicians each visit — so nothing important gets squeezed into the last two minutes.
Our approach
Most of what we see is ordinary: a cough that will not clear, a knee that aches on stairs, a result that needs explaining. What changes the outcome is having enough time to ask the second and third question, and a clinician who already knows your history.
So we schedule fewer appointments per day, keep you with the same practitioner wherever we can, and write our notes in plain language. If something falls outside our scope, we say so early and help you arrange the right referral rather than leaving you to work it out.
Standard appointments run thirty minutes, with longer slots for first visits and complex reviews.
You are matched to a clinician on your first visit and stay with them unless you ask otherwise.
Every plan is written down in everyday language, including what to do if things change.
What we look after
New symptoms, lingering ones, and the things you have been meaning to ask about for months.
A structured look at how you are doing overall, with screening appropriate to your age and history.
Ongoing support for conditions that need steady monitoring rather than one-off visits.
Small in-clinic treatments and dressings, with aftercare instructions you leave holding.
Assessment and guided rehabilitation for joints, backs and sports strains, in-house.
Routine immunisations and a pre-travel consultation tailored to where you are going.
Your visit
Tell us briefly what is going on and when suits you. We reply with a confirmed time and the name of the clinician you will see.
Thirty unhurried minutes: history, examination, and a plan agreed together. Nothing is decided while you are halfway out the door.
You leave with written notes and clear next steps. If results are pending, we tell you when and how you will hear about them.
