About Us
T
he Bristol Practice does away with the frustrations of NHS waiting times and the impersonal, screen-based model of many private health care providers.
Instead, the emphasis is on a regular, face-to-face doctor-patient relationship.
The Bristol Practice programme embraces continuity of care, along with a more holistic approach to health, wellbeing and lifestyle. And while treating ill patients is a given, the preventative side of things is dialled up, by building in time to consider potential root causes such as sleep, nutrition and work-life balance.
In some ways, the Bristol Practice harks back to the days of the village doctor doing the rounds with his bulging Gladstone bag. Except it’s bang up to date with medical advances and best-practices. Knowing your patients’ history, family and circumstances is a huge help in diagnosis and treatment. Consulting in their home environment is beneficial too, saving time and stress and fostering a more balanced, equal relationship.
Meet the Team

When the working day’s over, he enjoys playing football in the Bristol Downs Association Football League, a 120-year-old amateur, grassroots league, tuning into Bristol’s lively music scene and rolling board-game dice.
Henry has worked extensively as a GP in the UK and New Zealand. He’s coached and mentored fellow GPs, helping them cope with stress and burnout, and tutored doctors taking their Royal College membership exams.

Her approach is shaped by a commitment to continuity, clinical excellence and understanding each patient’s unique story.
