It will not surprise you to know that, following guidance from the Department of Health and Social Care regarding COVID-19, we have temporarily closed our Upper Wimpole Street practice. It is of course vital that we change our usual routines for the greater good of the community but it is also important to us that, in the meantime, we do not stop taking care of our patients.

With this in mind we are pleased to announce that we are today launching remote consultations for our new and existing patients.

These remote consultations will allow us to fulfil our duty of care to follow up on the progress of our patients’ treatment and to offer consultations for new patients that are not able to reach our NHS system, which undeniably has been over-stretched by the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic.

IBC Care is offering online consultations. You can book by calling our landline number: 02077924499 or you can use our online booking service.

There are several ways Dr Bramati can help you.

An initial consultation encompasses taking a thorough patient history and the details as to the onset and manifestation of the current health concern. During the consultation the osteopath will narrow down a possible diagnosis and, while the practitioner will not conduct a physical exam, a working diagnosis may be reached by asking the patient to demonstrate movements that are causing pain. While of course an in person consultation will always be preferable to a remote session, starting treatment will hopefully provide peace of mind to the patient. Depending on the working diagnosis reached, Dr Bramati will be able to guide the patient on exercise prescription, postural adjustments, simple ergonomic changes within the household setting as well as mindfulness guidance to deal with anxiety during this difficult time.

We will then be able to continue treatment in person when ‘normal’ life resumes!

It is vital to us that our existing IBC Care patients are supported and cared for during this challenging time.

Dr Bramati will access your osteopathic records online and follow up from the last session you had with her. Within the consultation Dr Bramati will review your current condition and then adjust and build on her medical advice going forward.

One of Dr Bramati’s specialities is applying visceral osteopathy on Autistic children. A thorough initial consultation can be offered via this remote service. This will encompass asking detailed questions regarding the patient’s history such as the mother’s pregnancy, labour, the onset of the child’s symptoms and formal autistic diagnosis and current symptoms. During the consultation, the questions asked by the Osteopath will provide the guide for Dr Bramati’s approach to the treatment. An online consultation will not differ in this way from a face-to-face consultation and, although the practitioner will not be able to physically examine the patient, Dr Bramati will have an idea of what the problem may be and will start guiding the family on procedures that can be done at home.

Dr Bramati also works in close contact with Ms Stella Chadwick – Nutritional Therapist and Functional Medicine practitioner (who is also guiding patients via an online system). Following the Osteopathic Approach to Autism Consultation, a plan will be discussed with the parents on how to proceed with the treatment and follow up advice.

IBC Care is offering a Naturopathic/Functional Medicine assessment for patients who would like to work on their inner health. Naturopaths help you get to the root underlying causes of your health problems and give advice on how to make significant changes in your health. Dr Bramati offers advice on dietary changes, lifestyle changes, and guidance on emotional wellbeing. Dr Bramati is fully registered with the General Council and Register of Naturopaths and was trained in the principles of Functional Medicine by the Institute of Functional Medicine – AFMCP-UK. She is also able to refer you for laboratory testing which will provide comprehensive clinical information assisting on the management of your health. Dr Bramati works with laboratories that use cutting-edge technologies able to test biomarkers giving valuable insight into your metabolic and digestive function as well as scoring intestinal microbiome levels.

A thorough initial consultation will be taken assessing the patient’s symptoms with details regarding the patient’s history and current complaint. Dr Bramati may advise lifestyle changes, dietary changes and/or laboratory analysis.

How does the online consultation work?

A consultation encompasses taking a thorough patient history and the details as to the onset and manifestation of the current health concern. During the consultation the osteopath will narrow down a possible diagnosis and, while the practitioner will not conduct a physical exam, a working diagnosis may be reached by asking the patient to demonstrate movements that are causing pain.

How does the online follow up work?

Do I need any special equipment for the video call?

Not at all. The only equipment you will need should come readily installed on your mobile phone, iPad or laptop. The consultation will be by video so we will utilise the camera and microphone already built in to your device.

You’ll be sent a link to access your video call at the time of your session.

Can we use FaceTime or WhatsApp instead?

We will only be using one platform for the consultations. At IBC Care we take security very seriously. Our preferred platform is an encrypted secure system that runs across mobile devices and desktops. You’ll be sent a link to access your video call at the time of your session.

How can I book an appointment?

You can book an appointment using our online system or by calling our landline number on 0207 7924499. Our receptionists are working remotely so you can still call and speak to one of them to arrange your appointment.

You will receive an email confirming your slot. You will be asked to fill out a consent form for remote assessment which will be sent to you via email. It is very important you fill out the questionnaire before your consultation.

How can I pay for my session?

You will be able to pay for your session using our secure online Worldpay system. You will be sent a link to complete the payment.

How can I reach you if I have any questions after the consultation?

After the consultation Dr Bramati will contact you for a brief phone call to check how you are progressing.

Dr Bramati might advise you to book a follow up a couple of days after your session to check up on your progress and make further treatment recommendations and adjustments.

At IBC Care we believe that the integration of complementary therapies with the medical profession is paramount in helping patients achieve optimum health.
