The Wellness
Primary Care Lead · General practitioner
Dr Adel Elalfy has been a GP in Britain for more than twenty-five years and leads primary care at The Wellness. He has been a Fellow of the Royal College of General Practitioners, its most senior grade, since 2001, and has taught and examined medical students at Keele for fifteen years.
Earlier in his career he ran stroke services across his region and built the rapid-assessment pathway used to get patients seen quickly. That work still shows in how he reads a blood pressure or a heart rhythm, and in the symptoms he does not let pass.
He has held the same partnership since 2007 and consults in English and Arabic. What patients tend to mention is that he remembers the small details and follows them up, and that he is hard to rush.
A career built around the heart and circulation, from leading a regional stroke service to catching the early warning signs most people walk past.
Blood pressure, diabetes and heart disease held to the numbers that actually protect you, reviewed and adjusted rather than left to drift.
Screening, risk and health optimisation, so problems are found early and the next twenty years are planned for, not just the next appointment.

“I had not taken my blood pressure seriously for years, but Dr Elalfy made it very easy to understand why it matters so much and what I can do to improve it.”
“He has looked after my father since we moved to London. When dad had his scare last winter he called us on a Sunday to check in. I will not forget that.”
“He holds his consultations with my mother in Arabic and is the first doctor in the UK she feels she can trust.”
Allow up to forty-five minutes. Dr Elalfy takes a full history, examines you properly, and leaves you with a clear plan rather than a list of unanswered questions. Bring any recent letters or results if you have them.
Yes, and many people do. Continuity is the point of good general practice, and seeing the same doctor who already knows your history is where most of the value sits.
Yes. Same-day and urgent appointments are available in person or by video, so you are not left waiting when something cannot wait.
You will receive an itemised receipt suitable for insurance claims. Cover varies by policy, so check your eligibility with your insurer before booking.
Every appointment begins with a proper consultation, the kind that takes the time to understand what is actually going on and what to do about it.
