What General Practice Should Be...
DR TIM MERCER
AI may be transforming many areas of healthcare, but it can never replace the value of a trusted GP who understands the human experience.
I focus on the relationship between health, work, and social life - in areas like chronic pain, insomnia, mental health, and "medically unexplained symptoms" - where patients need more than algorithms.
With a compassionate, pragmatic approach, I help my patients navigate complex symptoms and life challenges that go beyond the clinical data.
I offer personalised care that’s based on listening, understanding, and the continuity of a long-term, meaningful relationship. We're in this together.
