No Appointment Necessary

by Made You Look Studios

Struggling to see your GP? Left late-night Googling your symptoms? You're not alone – and we’re here to help! No Appointment Necessary is your weekly prescription of trusted, no-nonsense health advice from working GP Dr Amir Khan, who’s here to cut through the confusion, bust the myths, and help you take charge of your well-being. Alongside him is his close friend and co-host Cherry Healey – a passionate health advocate on hand to ask your questions and get the very best info to help you feel in control. Over 80% of women say they don’t feel heard at the doctor’s, and with appointments so hard to get, and when you do get one they’re over in a flash, that’s why we’ve opened our doors for you to join us each week for real, relatable health advice, helpful lifestyle tips, and a catch-up with Dr Amir and Cherry. No pressure, no rush – and no receptionist to get past! The content of No Appointment Necessary is for general information — it's not a substitute for a personalised medical assessment. Always consider your own medical history and personal circumstances before acting on any health information. Have a question, feedback, or want to suggest a topic?
