Navigating the NHS can feel like a maze. Decoding a diagnosis, working out whether that nagging pain is worth bothering your GP about or simply understanding what the consultant actually meant – it’s a lot, and it doesn’t come with a briefing.
That’s where Dr Jill comes in.
An NHS Consultant Physician with years of frontline clinical experience, Dr Jill is joining the CIVVY team as our resident medic. Each issue she’ll be cutting through the jargon, answering the health questions you’ve been putting off asking, and explaining the conditions and complaints that affect the veteran community in plain, practical terms.
No waiting rooms. No referral required.
Whether it’s musculoskeletal wear and tear, mental health, sleep, cardiovascular risk or the kind of question you’d feel daft raising at a ten-minute GP appointment, Dr Jill is here to give you a straight answer.
Got something you want her to tackle? Send your questions to info@civvymagazine.co.uk and she may well answer yours in a future issue.
