Hi, I'm Dr Matthew J Sweeney MBChB MRCGP. I am a full-time NHS GP, based in the UK. I have created this channel as I know it is becoming increasingly difficult for people to access a GP these days. My aim is to provide short videos about common medical problems which might provide useful information for people trying to manage their own health issues. This channel represents private work and does not relate to my work within the NHS. This channel should not to be used as a substitute for consulting a medical professional, it is for information only. If you are experiencing an urgent or life-threatening medical problem then you should immediately contact the appropriate emergency services. Thank you for viewing my channel and I hope that you find the videos helpful.
