For health Professionals
Thank you for your interest in supporting your patient to better health through Lifestyle Medicine
How to refer a patient
If you are Nelson based you can find me on ERMS: General Practice -> General Practice referral. On the form its Private then 'The Healthstyle Doctor'. A quick note about your patients goals and any recent lifestyle related blood tests (HBA1C, Lipids ect) is all that is needed and I will contact your patient to organise an appointment time. I will cc you in to the clinic letter I send to your patient to keep you in the loop of their progress.
If you are from out of Nelson you can send me an email from my contacts page with your patients name and contact details and I can contact them or patients can self refer by using my online booking system.
