GENERAL PRACTITIONERS
Dr. Hervé LOMINAR is a BMedSci BMBS MRCGP DFSRH DRCOG PGCert qualified from the University College of London in 1980 and moved to Switzerland on 2000.
Before settling in to general practice, he worked in a variety of hospital specialities including cardiology, stroke medicine, sexual health, urology, psychiatry, obstetrics, gynaecology, emergency medicine and paediatrics.
Since qualifying as a general practitioner his experience has been equally broad, having worked in Mayfair Medical Center in London and the University Hospital of Geneva. He believes in disease prevention and a holistic approach to optimising physical and mental health. He ensures he is up to date with the full spectrum of general practice, but particular interests include sexual health, men's health, mental health and dermatology.
His other professional interests include medical education and ethics. He has taught at both university and postgraduate level and has developed innovative training programmes in child health and mental health for GP trainees,
pediatricians and psychiatrists in London.
He has also written a national online education programme, which aims to improve the physical healthcare provided to patients with severe mental illness. He strongly believes in the empowerment of patients in the management of their health and is due to publish some work on patient autonomy in the near future.
Hervé is fluent in English, French and German.
Dr. Monica HEATHON is a MBBS BSc MRCGP DRCOG DFSRH graduated from University of Zurich on 2003 with a clinical distinction. Then, she developed a special interest in Anaesthesia, Rural and Remote Medicine whilst living in Australia.
She used this qualification work with the Sydney Medical Service, to work in Remote Communities to work with Helicopter Retrieval Teams. Working in remote communities with a lack of access to specialist services has provided a sound medical base and skills and a much greater understanding of cultural impacts on healthcare provision. Monica has particular interests in Women's Health, Paediatrics, Mental Health and Medical Education.
Monica decided that General Practice was where her passion lay and she commenced her GP training in Zurich. At the same time, she studied for an MSc in Sports and Exercise Medicine so that she could combine her career in General Practice with a special interest in Sports and Exercise Medicine.
Monica is fluent in French, Spanish, English, German and has good working knowledge of Italian.
