 Chronic ill-health (Parkinson's disease) has forced Dr. Walker to take early medical retirement. Consequently, I am no longer seeing or treating patients in the NHS or privately.
I have also voluntarily removed my name from the GMC register, and am therefore not able to provide replies to online medical queries.
Please note that I am NOT able to issue prescriptions, supply any kind of drug / medication, or give medical advice online. You should always defer to the advice given to you by your family doctor or hospital specialist
