Farah Baig

I am an experienced GP with over 12 years in General Practice and over 6 years in medical hospital jobs prior to this. This gave me a good grounding in being aware of both simple and complex medical problems, formulating appropriate differential diagnoses and the scope of investigations and treatment plans to be offered.

My key strengths lie in listening to the patient and establishing a good rapport to find they right solution for them. I maintain curiosity if patients were not to improve and need further investigations as appropriate to discover potential underlying causes.

Over the last 2 years I became aware that conventional medicine, although the core and foundation of our diagnosis and treatment can sometimes reach a limit in the management options that are available. Sometimes lifestyle medicine, nutritional medicine and other holistic therapies which are evidence-based offer increases in wellbeing with real meaning and benefit, and I have sought to increase my learning in these by attending conferences and becoming a member of the British Society of Ecological Medicine (BSEM).

I value my continued experience in the NHS as a locum GP, working over a breadth of localities in East London and Essex.  Using my skills and knowledge is always a privilege and I look forward to being able to meet and help you in the best way.
