Remote consultations and private prescriptions nationwide, plus home visits across West Kent — professional medical care for adults and children, delivered by an experienced primary care clinician

Someone in a Facebook group asked me a great question, so I thought I’d share the answer with you all! 👋

“Can you do more than a dispensing chemist with IPs?”

We’re lucky enough to have lots of options for healthcare, but knowing who does what can get a bit confusing.

First, IP means independent prescriber, someone qualified to prescribe medicines within their area of clinical expertise.

Pharmacists do a huge amount in our communities. Through NHS Pharmacy First, they can assess and treat certain conditions. Some also offer paid private consultations and prescribing outside that service, so there’s definitely some overlap with what I do.

At PrymaCare, I offer private urgent care by phone, video or home visit. Depending on what you need, that can include assessment, examination, diagnosis and prescribing where appropriate, alongside blood tests, ear care and onward referral.

So it’s about finding the right service for what you need help with.

I’m Ross, a local Advanced Paramedic Practitioner working in the NHS alongside running PrymaCare here in West Kent.

If you’re unsure whether I can help, please ask. And if another service would be a better fit, I’m happy to point you in the right direction.

Keep the questions coming .I work in healthcare every day, and sometimes forget that these job titles don’t explain themselves! 🙂

Happy Sunday everyone! ☀️

An early and chilly start for me this morning, working with the NHS Out of Hours GP Home Visiting Service in East Sussex, heading out to see housebound patients who are unwell and need urgent assessment at home. 🚗🩺

It’s been a busy week all round. I’ve had meetings about some exciting new collaboration opportunities for PrymaCare, been networking with other local businesses across West Kent, and somehow in between all of that I’ve also been at home trying to get to grips with phonics and navigate toddler tantrums. 😂

A fairly accurate summary of life at the moment: healthcare, business, family and mild chaos!

Hope you all have a lovely Sunday, whatever you’re up to. 😊

💚 Today is World Mental Health Day.

Mental health can affect any of us, at any time, and sometimes the people struggling most are the ones you’d least expect.

So today, maybe send that message, make that phone call, or ask someone how they’re really doing.

A small check-in can mean a lot.

Apparently, I’m “absolutely not qualified to give any medical advice”.

That was a comment left on one of my posts recently, so I thought a proper introduction might be useful. 👋

And yes, that’s a much younger me in the photo, back in my paramedic days. I’ve been doing this a while!

I’m Ross, the person behind PrymaCare here in West Kent.

I’m an HCPC-registered paramedic, an Advanced Practitioner and an independent prescriber. I’ve spent years working in primary care, urgent care and out-of-hours services, and I still work in the NHS.

That means I’m qualified to assess, diagnose, treat and prescribe within my scope of practice. It also means recognising when someone needs a different clinician or service.

PrymaCare is registered with the Care Quality Commission. Getting there involved months of paperwork and applications, plenty of scrutiny and a three-hour interview.

There was quite a bit more to it than setting up a page. 😅

You’re absolutely entitled to ask who’s looking after you and what their qualifications are. I’d encourage it.

So if you’ve been wondering what my role involves, or whether I can help with something, please ask. I’m happy to explain. No anonymous account required.

Ps. If you are interested in a private remote medical consultation for £59, from a CQC registered advanced practitioner, head to our page and check us out.

Happy Sunday everyone 👋

First of all, a big welcome to all of our new followers. It’s been lovely to see so many new people joining the page recently, and I really appreciate every follow, share, recommendation and bit of support.

I’ve also got a couple of exciting PrymaCare updates to share.

We’ve now launched our new PrymaCare Memberships, designed to make private healthcare easier to access when you actually need it.

The idea is simple: rather than feeling unwell and then having to decide whether you can justify paying for a private consultation at the time, your membership gives you ongoing access to suitable remote PrymaCare consultations as part of your monthly plan.

So when something crops up, the healthcare is already there for you with packages from just £14.99/month.

Higher membership levels also include additional benefits such as discounts, priority access and physiotherapy.

👉 https://prymacare.co.uk/membership

We’ve also officially launched our Corporate Healthcare Packages for local businesses, giving employers a straightforward way to support their teams with access to private medical consultations, physiotherapy, employee health checks and other healthcare benefits with annual packges from £695.

👉 https://prymacare.co.uk/corporate-services

The aim with both is simple: make good quality healthcare easier to access, without making it complicated or feeling like something you can only use when you’re prepared for another unexpected bill.

I’ll be sharing more about both over the coming days, but for now I just wanted to say hello, welcome everyone new, and wish you all a lovely Sunday 😊

📚 A spare 15 minutes before the kids woke up this morning, so I put it to good use.

I spent it having a quick refresher on prediabetes (very rock and roll i know!)

Prediabetes means your blood sugar levels are higher than normal, but not yet high enough to be diagnosed as type 2 diabetes. It often causes no symptoms, but it does mean there is an increased risk of developing type 2 diabetes in the future. The good news is that lifestyle changes can help reduce that risk.

I pay for a membership to an education provider called Red Whale which is used by GPs and other primary care clinicians and gives access to hundreds of practical articles learning resources and courses covering the sort of conditions we see every day.

Healthcare is one of those jobs where the learning never really stops. Sometimes that means a full course or study day, and sometimes it’s simply making good use of a spare 15 minutes over a cup of tea. ☕📖

If you’ve been told you have prediabetes, there’s some useful information from Diabetes UK:

https://www.diabetes.org.uk/about-diabetes/type-2-diabetes/prediabetes

03/10/2026

The Care Quality Commission , the national body which monitors and regulates health and social care, is asking people for their views on dementia care. It’ll use comments to create draft guidance on what dementia care should look like, before running a formal public consultation next year.

Make your voice heard by taking part in their survey before 30 October: https://orlo.uk/MH8bz

Out across West Kent this afternoon with home visits. 🚗

I’ve just visited a patient for earwax removal who told me that only a couple of days ago she’d been so upset because she could barely hear the television properly.

After treatment to both ears, she couldn’t believe how loud she’d had the volume and was absolutely over the moon to have her hearing back.

Ordinarily, getting out to a high street clinic would have been really difficult for her, which is exactly why PrymaCare 's home-visiting service can make such a difference.

This is why I love this job! 💙

At what point does "I've got a bit of a cough" become "perhaps I should actually get this looked at"?

Coughs can hang around annoyingly long after an infection, so having one for more than a few days doesn't automatically mean something is wrong.

What matters is the bigger picture.
Is it gradually improving?
Or is it getting worse?
Are you feeling generally well, or increasingly unwell?
Have you developed chest pain, a temperature or other symptoms?
Is the cough interfering with sleep or everyday life?

There isn't one magic point where every cough suddenly needs treatment.
That's where clinical assessment comes in.

At PrymaCare, I can assess respiratory symptoms, listen to your chest where appropriate and work out what the sensible next step is.

That might be treatment.
It might be further investigation.
Or it might simply be reassurance that the annoying cough really does just need a little more time.

If you have severe difficulty breathing, significant chest pain, cough up blood or become seriously unwell, seek urgent medical help rather than waiting for a routine appointment.
