Episode 5: Getting the Most Out of Your GP Visit

Family Health by Mini First Aid

In this episode, sponsored by Savlon Scar Prevention Gel, Kate talks to Mini First Aid trainer and GP Lowri Hext. We regularly get asked questions from families about when it is appropriate to call a GP versus 111 or 999, and also how to get the most out of your GP appointment. Lowri also discusses some of the weird and wonderful encounters GP’s have to face, and what happens when her own family needs to see a doctor!

Lowri is one of the franchise owners of Mini First Aid Swansea, The Vale and Valleys alongside her husband Ryan. She is a GP and works in her local area. Prior to becoming a GP, Lowri worked as a junior doctor in hospitals across South West Wales and England.
