Wondering what a home sleep study actually looks like? Here is exactly what is involved. 🌙💙

At Essex Private Doctors, our sleep apnoea testing takes place in your own home, in your own bed, over two nights. No hospital. No disruption to your routine beyond wearing a small piece of equipment while you sleep.

The device monitors your overnight oxygen levels, your breathing movement, and your nasal airflow throughout the night. It is easy to attach by yourself and full instructions and a video guide come with the kit.

We recommend a two-night study because the first night with new equipment can feel slightly different. The second night gives a much more reliable picture of how you normally sleep. Results are analysed by a qualified sleep physiologist and reviewed by our GP team.

If you snore, wake exhausted despite a full night in bed, or someone has noticed pauses in your breathing, it is worth getting checked.

Is your child showing signs of an allergy, but you are not quite sure what is going on? 💙

Allergies in children can look very different from one child to the next. Some children suffer with hay fever, the itchy eyes, runny nose, and sneezing that can be really disruptive, especially during pollen season. In other children, allergies show up as vomiting, an upset stomach, or hives. And in some children, they can affect existing conditions like asthma and eczema, causing flares that seem hard to explain.

The good news is that the majority of childhood allergies are very manageable. The key is getting the right diagnosis early. That might involve a detailed clinical history, skin prick testing, or blood tests, depending on the situation. And the treatment plan will be tailored to your child, whether that is a food exclusion, antihistamines, or a clear management plan for home, school, and nursery.

If you have any concerns about your child's allergies, please do come and see us. We will get to the bottom of it together.

Something Dr. Alice Scott wants every woman in perimenopause to hear. 💙

So many women come into clinic feeling like they are failing. Less resilient. Less able to cope with stress. Unable to manage the things they used to handle with ease.

And almost always, they blame themselves.

But here is what they are not being told. Oestrogen is not just a reproductive hormone. It is essential for cognitive support, emotional regulation, and resilience. When oestrogen begins to fluctuate during perimenopause, those functions are directly affected.

This is not a personal failing. This is biology. And it deserves to be taken seriously.

At Essex Private Doctors, Dr. Alice Scott offers expert, compassionate perimenopause care that addresses the full clinical picture, including the emotional and cognitive symptoms that too many women are told to simply push through.

You do not have to keep blaming yourself. We are here to help. 💛

Could you be eating too much protein? It sounds unlikely, but it is one of the most common reasons we see weight plateaus in clinic. 💙

We are surrounded by protein products right now. Protein yogurts, shakes, wraps, crisps. While protein is absolutely important, it is very easy to inadvertently have too much, particularly when so many of those products are also highly processed and calorie-dense.

A more realistic and evidence-based target for most adults is around 80 to 100 grams of protein per day, spread across breakfast, lunch, an afternoon snack, and an evening meal. Simple and manageable, without the need to rely on processed protein products.

If your progress has stalled, a personalised nutrition consultation with our dietitian Florence Rowe could give you the clarity you need.

Weight training three times a week and things have stopped working? 👀 This might be why. 👇

We hear this constantly in clinic. Women and men doing all the right things with weights, but dropping all cardio from their routine. And then wondering why results have hit a wall. 😔

Yes, weight training is incredibly important. But so is getting your heart rate up. 🫀

And no, walking the dog does not count as cardio. 🐶 Sorry.

You need to get your heart rate to around 140 to 160 bpm. Short, sharp, and effective:

🚴 Assault bike
🧗 StairMaster or stepper
🏃 Really brisk walking where you are genuinely out of breath

It does not need to take long. It just needs to happen. 💪

Add this back into your routine and you will start seeing results again. 💛

We are so grateful to share this wonderful review for Dr. Alice Scott. 💙

"I have visited Dr Alice Scott a few times after recommendations from family members and have always been impressed with the level of service I have received. From the moment I booked my appointment I felt at ease before I had even walked in the door. Dr Scott spent a lot of time listening and understanding my problems and helped me with the right treatments. If there were any tests I needed, most of the time they could be done there and then, with results back so quickly! I would recommend Dr Alice and this practice to anyone looking for an amazing doctor."

Coming to us through a family recommendation, returning multiple times, and recommending us to others. That is everything we work for. 💛

Thank you so much for your trust and your kind words. It truly means the world to our team.
