Dr Wayne Cottrell

Dr Wayne Cottrell MBChB MRCGP, qualified as a doctor in South Africa in 1994 at the University of the Orange Free State and started practising as a GP in London in 2001 (working in both private and NHS practice), after completing his vocational GP training, in the UK. He is an advocate of continuity of care for his patients and believes in the importance of establishing a long-term relationship with his patients and the importance of including his patients in decision making. His ethos is to take time with all his patients to listen and carefully address any concerns. My clinic offers walk-in and same-day appointments,  where we can perform most functions of an NHS GP, but typically, at a time convenient to you, with results same or next day. We also have a childrens clinic, run by our specailist paedatric nurse. Other services offered are all travel vaccinations, including Yellow Fever, as the clinic is  a designated Yellow Fever Centre. Dr Cottrell also offers a bespoke sexual health test and treat service with same-day results. "I offer a completely confidential, professional, non-judgemental service from start to end. If you are not sure if you have been at risk sexually, then I offer a consultation to discuss the possible risks and whether screening would be appropriate. We discuss and agree all costs beforehand so you know exactly where you stand and I will always provide you with clear and accurate advice based on current British Association for Sexual Health and HIV (BASHH) guidelines." I am a member of the Royal College of GP's , the British Assocaition for Sexual Health and HIV (BASHH), the Independent Doctors Federation (IDF) and I am still regustered as a Medical Practitioner in South Africa (HPCSA) . My clinic, Dr Wayne Cottrell & Co, is rated as "Good" by the Care Quality Commission. Dr Cottrell is currently on longterm sick leave ands not personally seeing patients at the moment

"Evidence-based care tailored to each patient — taking the time to explain options and shared decisions."
