About H3 Health

We created H3 Health with one simple purpose in mind. To help men who are 40 years and above live their best lives. We believe passionately in the importance of preventative medicine to help prevent or treat effectively the health challenges that many of us face in middle age.

While the NHS is a wonderful service, time-poor doctors are often unable to dedicate the time they’d like to their patients. Our team of doctors are specialists in men’s health, in particular conditions such as low testosterone, and are here to help. Our Medical Director, Dr Jeff Foster, has created a totally unique combination of tests designed specifically to uncover anything that might be a concern, delivered back to you via a consultation with one of our doctors and a detailed, actionable report.

We know that people in this age group are among the busiest, with many demands on their time. For that reason, our model is designed to be as easy and convenient as possible.  Our consultations can be carried out online via video calls or face-to-face, meaning you can choose a location that is more convenient and comfortable for you.

H3 Health. Better for life.

Working to improve your health and help you get more from life

How we work with patients that may have additional needs2023-02-20T16:03:35+00:00

At H3Health we recognise that there may be patients who require additional support to access our services, and that these additional needs might be either visible or hidden.  To facilitate this, we ask that you simply let our secretary or administration team know when you contact us.  They will then contact your doctor and we will liaise with you directly to make sure any needs are met.    

In terms of physical disabilities, all our clinical sites have wheelchair access, and appropriate mobility support, we offer a hearing loop, and a sign language interpreter as required.  We also have the facility to translate documents into braille at patient request.  

For those patients with non-visible disabilities, we offer longer appointments, (at no further charge), as well as a bespoke written summary of the consultation plan moving forward.  Follow-up questions, are also permitted at any point.   

For patients with more significant disabling conditions, H3Health also allows for the use of advocates and we would also advise any patients and their representatives that we would work closely with their NHS GP moving forward.   

How will I get my results?2021-06-28T18:55:20+00:00

It can take up to 7 days for the processing of your blood tests and for us to receive notification from our partner, Nationwide Pathology.  Once we have received them your doctor will be notified, and they will review them.  Your doctor will then email them to you with any comments, via a secure link.

Depending on your chosen service, you may have a follow-up consultation to discuss your results.

Why do I need to provide my GP details?2023-02-15T16:21:01+00:00

We want to practice as safely as we can and involve your normal GP.  We will notify your GP of treatments we provide so that they can update their systems and ensure that there are no concerns highlighted over other treatment you might be receiving from them.  For example, some medications cannot be taken alongside others, or you might need more monitoring with some.

For that reason, we ask that you provide your GP’s details before your first appointment using the hello@h3health.co.uk email address.
