Emergency Medical Guidance
Accidents are unforeseeable, but having the right advice can be a game-changer.
GetSavvi Health's health advisor is your first step in getting assistance, providing expert counsel on initial aid until medical professionals arrive. The health expert will evaluate the situation, offer advice, and, if necessary, arrange for the nearest available ambulance service within our network.
This swift response can be important in managing injuries and ensuring the welfare of your loved ones.
Assessment of Daily Symptoms
Is it a simple cold or something more serious? Determining this isn't always straightforward, especially when you're not feeling your best.
Through the health advisor service, you can access information about different illnesses and get recommendations from healthcare professionals for at-home care.
This empowers you to make informed choices about seeking medical assistance or handling the situation within your home.
Maternity Support and Breastfeeding Advice
This programme offers expert guidance and personalised care for pregnant individuals and new mothers.
You can get insights into pregnancy discomforts, nutrition, exercise and more. If you're experiencing any concerning symptoms, our advisors offer reliable information and peace of mind. The advisor can also guide you on successful breastfeeding, addressing challenges like latching and milk supply.
Clarifying Medical Information
Medical jargon, test outcomes and treatment procedures can often be baffling. The health advisor is on hand to interpret and explain these difficult terms in a way that you can easily understand.
This service ensures that you're well informed about your health and any medical processes you might be undergoing.
Assistance with Drugs
Have queries about a particular medication? The health advisor has access to a drug database and is able to give you information about various medicines, their uses, possible side effects and interactions.
This resource is particularly useful when you've been prescribed a new medication and wish to learn more about it.
Dealing with Poisoning Incidents
Addressing a case of poisoning demands swift action. The health advisor not only offers immediate advice but also guidance on the next steps to take.
In severe scenarios, they can even assist in arranging an ambulance to ensure the affected person receives prompt medical attention.
Support for Chronic Ailments
Coping with chronic conditions like cancer, HIV/Aids, diabetes or asthma can be overwhelming.
The health advisor is a trained professional who will handle your illness with compassion and empathy, giving you the counsel you need, and delivering valuable insights to aid you in coping with your illness.
This service aims to be a strong support for both patients and their families.
Stress Management and Trauma Debriefing
Worrying about a health issue can take a toll on your mental well-being. The health advisor also offers stress management techniques, counselling and relaxation suggestions.
After a traumatic experience, a debriefing can prove invaluable. A trauma debriefing is when the advisor offers psychological and emotional support to help you deal with your trauma. If required, the advisor can also link you with a professional trauma counsellor for further assistance.
Remember, during times of necessity, a medical professional who genuinely cares and is prepared to aid you is only a phone call away.
