Priyanka founded HealthClic in 2015, with a desire to create a concierge medical practice that offers families unparalleled access to a distinguished HealthClic physician. An expert who dedicates their full expertise to the well-being of you and your family. Someone who knows you so well that they anticipate your medical needs, advocate for you, and proactively research solutions before complications arise – almost like having a doctor in the family.   COMPANY OVERVIEW As London’s first concierge medicine practice, with a patient list 98% smaller than the average GP practice in London, HealthClic physicians are renowned for providing highly discreet medical services to ultra high-net-worth families and an international clientele. There is a waitlist to join.   Concierge medicine, often known as ‘membership medicine’, dates back to 1996 and is an advanced healthcare model from the U.S. where patients pay an annual membership fee to register with their primary care physician; in exchange for a higher level of service, and a smaller patient list. This is a much more exclusive model of healthcare delivery, that involves 24/7 physician access, same-day appointments, and highly personalised, comprehensive care.    HealthClic is meticulously crafted to serve the unique needs of families accustomed to frequent travel and multiple residences; with a highly exclusive patient-to-doctor ratio of 50 families to 1. As a practice, HealthClic excels in prioritising privacy, promptness, and excellence in care, catering not only to those in perfect health but also to those proactively managing their well-being, or those families undergoing a health crisis. Their dedicated physicians ensure longevity and safeguard your legacy with the utmost discretion and precision, making HealthClic the epitome of comprehensive concierge medicine.    LEARN MORE: https://healthclic.co.uk   © 2007-2025 Concierge Medicine Today, LLC.

"It touches on a lot of topics: Finding peace with our past. Gender. Race. Grief. Relationships. Growth. Living in a small town. It speaks to other common experiences for us adults and for teenagers."  ~David, January 2025, Book Review, Amazon By Editor-in-Chief, Concierge Medicine Today, Host, The DocPreneur Leadership Podcast I love to read! Like most Doctors you and I know, you're probably reading 4-6 titles right now. Well, I have one more new book I can't wait to tell you about, The Playbook. This story reminds us all of the possibilities when we allow our instincts to take charge-when the game is no longer just a game, but a catalyst for life-altering experiences. I had the unique opportunity to sit down with novelist, friend and author, Gary Parker, PhD. I asked him all the pesky questions I know Doctors listening want to know when it comes to writing and publishing a book. We touched on why we think more Doctors need to put pen to paper and actually keep a journal, the mental health advantages of being alone with our thoughts, how to find a publisher, connect 'islands and bridges,' sell your book, work with editors and publicists and more! "As a young boy, I loved to read and that soon became a desire to write. While a student at Furman University, I worked at the Greenville News newspaper and did a summer internship at my hometown Index-Journal. After completing a Ph.D. at Baylor University I started writing magazine articles on parenting and family (which I have to say, I really knew little about)! Four non-fiction books followed before I dared try a novel. But then I did try and I've been writing novels since then. Twenty total titles have emerged from my imagination and become published stories which, hopefully, inspire us a little and uplift us a lot! My most recent story, The Playbook, should definitely do that. When I'm not writing I enjoy golf, guitar, bike riding (the pedaling kind) and spending time with my wife and family. Nothing spectacular. Just allowing my curiosity to find what's interesting and digging into it." LEARN MORE: https://a.co/d/gwALKzS About The Playbook A guitarist, a philosopher, and a natural-born leader with a ponytail walk onto a football field. In the heart of a small mountain town where football reigns supreme and tradition casts long shadows, Ms. Chelsea Deal defies the norm. Amid the echoes of clashing helmets and the roar of a crowd, Chelsea, a former big-city lawyer now cast as the interim head coach for the undefeated Rabon Knights, becomes the unexpected mentor for two young players whose dreams echo her own. Palmer, a reclusive teenager brimming with untapped talent, and Ty, an old soul fighting the gravest of battles, join forces with Chelsea to overcome their differences and fight for a championship. GET THE BOOK: https://a.co/d/gwALKzS As the season unfolds, so do the lives of these characters as each one strives to defeat personal challenges. Chelsea, with her keen instincts and generous spirit, seeks to rewrite the rules in a town slow to accept her. Palmer, elusive and insecure, navigates the pain of a dysfunctional family and the pull of interests beyond football. And Ty, the quarterback whose bright future is threatened by a deadly adversary, searches for strength in the power of unlikely friendships. From the smoky aroma of Southern barbecue to the indomitable spirit of a team that refuses to yield, The Playbook captures the essence of what it means to fight for every inch, every down, every dream. as a team. This story reminds us of the possibilities when we allow our instincts to take charge-when the game is no longer just a game, but a catalyst for life-altering experiences. Join us on the field and beyond, as Chelsea, Palmer, and Ty show us that sometimes, the most profound victories don't come with a score. Sometimes, when we break through our defenses, both literal and metaphorical, we find glory in unexpected places. And, sometimes, the games aren't just played, but felt, and the characters aren't just written, but lived. GET THE BOOK: https://a.co/d/gwALKzS

Bespoke care and concierge care are both innovative approaches to healthcare, but they serve different purposes.   By the Editor-in-Chief, Concierge Medicine Today.   Words are my passion. While I’m not perfect at grammar (obviously!), I do manage every now and then to string a few thoughts together that resonate with some Physicians out there. I’m also intrigued by how our culture repurposes and rebrands words to promote specific narratives and ideas. And, ever since Mrs. Nielson, my 8th-grade Advanced Language Arts teacher, told me, “You have a gift; keep writing,” I’ve loved using words. I’m smitten by the science of language and constantly on a hunt to learn the new ways our words are being reused, rebranded, refined and redefined by our culture.   One term worth revisiting is “bespoke.”   If you’re not familiar with it in the healthcare context, let me explain. The word ‘bespoke’ is probably more familiar to our European healthcare audience than our North American audience and that’s okay.   To summarize, I’ll do what you might be doing right now, ‘Googling’ it. 🙂 But, I’ll take it a few steps further and use Grammarly’s Generative AI Bot.   According to the AI Bot: “Bespoke care represents the highest level of personalized medical attention, tailored specifically to meet the individual needs, preferences, and health conditions of each patient. This customized approach ensures that every treatment plan is uniquely designed for effectiveness and empowers patients, promoting a collaborative relationship with their healthcare providers.”   Interesting, right?   Advisory Board also recently unpacked the subject here. Radio Advisory’s Abby Burns sat down with Advisory Board’s Solomon Banjo and Nick Hula to talk about a new era of innovation, where progress in diagnostics, treatments, data analysis, and ongoing management have the potential to revolutionize patient care through unprecedented customization. Download the episode for the full conversation here. In the interview they note that bespoke care is going to be complex, Hula said. “It’s going to require clinicians who are highly skilled in a clinical sense, but also in a personal sense, really knowing what’s right for their patients and being able to adjust treatment decisions based off of all the factors that we just listed,” Hula said.   For even more context, I also asked the Grammarly’s Generative A.I. Bot to contrast the words bespoke care with concierge care. Grammarly’s Generative A.I. Bot shared that “Concierge care offers a premium healthcare model that enhances the patient experience through an annual fee or retainer. This model provides patients with exceptional access to their healthcare providers, including extended appointment times, prioritized scheduling, and often 24/7 availability. While concierge care may incorporate some elements of bespoke services, its primary focus is on improving accessibility and responsiveness.”   For perspective, over the last 20 years, many terms have emerged to describe primary care and its complex relationship with subscriptions and price transparency. Now, we can download an app on our devices and connect with a healthcare practitioner in moments for a nominal fee. Additionally, retail clinics in our neighborhoods now list their prices, which is a significant advancement compared to when we were kids.   I mention this to illustrate that in most markets, price transparency addresses a fundamental need for convenience—a new definition of luxury for today’s consumers (i.e., patients).   If you’re not well-versed in these healthcare terms, you’re not alone; they are relatively new. Concierge medicine, also known as concierge care, boutique medicine, bespoke healthcare, or private medicine, emerged in the mid-1990s, though its origins trace back several decades—an interesting story for another time. The term “bespoke care” isn’t new; like many words in healthcare, we often see familiar terms reinterpreted. A colleague, friend, and attorney encapsulated this idea perfectly during a meeting at the American Academy of Private Physicians conference in Phoenix, Arizona, in April 2015 when he remarked, “Let’s focus on substance, not labels.”   I believe he’s absolutely right.   While many terms have fallen in and out of favor among doctors, patients, and the media, some words have emerged as central to the membership medicine landscape today. Despite their media exposure and the efforts of physicians, many still don’t fully grasp the fundamental benefits, advantages, and drawbacks of certain terms in healthcare.   Despite the various terms that have been tested in the marketplace, some physicians still struggle to understand the differences between these models. They often use terms interchangeably or promote one as a low-cost alternative while labeling concierge medicine as the expensive option.   Personally, I don’t subscribe to that philosophy. (Pun intended.)   Now, let me introduce you to a concept called “insideritis.”   This term describes a phenomenon where organizations, especially in healthcare, view themselves solely through an internal lens, neglecting the patient experience. Author, pastor, and business leadership speaker Carey Nieuwhoff highlights the issue of insideritis and the excessive use of abbreviations in professional communication. He emphasizes the importance of using accessible language to foster understanding and connection, particularly in healthcare where clear communication is essential. Nieuwhoff notes, “Perhaps the insiders know what you’re talking about, but I don’t. Nor does anyone new or not yet embedded in your culture!”   Today, patients often don’t understand the “insider jargon” that healthcare professionals use. In fact, many people today might not even know who our first president was.   Here’s on last example of how old familiar words get used and this one is something you might already be aware of: Evidence-based medicine (EBM) was first coined in the early 1990s by a group of researchers at McMaster University in Canada, particularly Dr. David Sackett and his colleagues. They aimed to enhance clinical decision-making by integrating the best available scientific evidence with clinical expertise and patient values. This approach was a response to the growing need for a more systematic and critical examination of medical literature, allowing healthcare professionals to make informed decisions based on rigorous research rather than tradition or hearsay. For a detailed source on the origins and development of EBM, you can refer to: Sackett, D. L., Rosenberg, W. M. C., Gray, J. A. M., Haynes, R. B., & Richardson, W. S. (1996). Evidence-based medicine: what it is and what it isn’t. *BMJ*, 312(7023), 71-72. DOI: 10.1136/bmj.312.7023.71.     Editor’s Note:   This article discusses the principles of EBM and provides insight into its foundational context.   To assist the writing process, these Grammarly AI prompts were used:   Prompts created by Grammarly – “Make it persuasive” – “Make it more descriptive” – “Improve it” – “Shorten it”   Prompts I wrote – “What is ‘bespoke care’? What is ‘concierge’ care? Are they the same? Different?” – “briefly describe how the term in healthcare ‘evidence based medicine’ was originally termed or…”   CONCIERGE MEDICINE TODAY IS THE INDUSTRY'S TRADE PUBLICATION, EST. 2007.
