ORB is founded on the belief that connecting people with accurate health information, where and when they need it, truly makes a difference. David Haddrell’s story is a testament to this impact.
Faced with complex health challenges after reaching a weight of just under 30 stone, David sought advice from his trusted pharmacist. She recommended Dr Arpit Srivastava, an experienced NHS GP, who also runs a private practice treating weight loss patients. Before prescribing, Dr Arpit reviewed David’s complete NHS GP record in ORB (with his consent).
David said “I felt reassured that Dr Arpit would be able to prescribe the right treatment for me because he could see all my conditions, all my test results, all the types of medications I am on. I have a complex medical history and it’s hard to remember everything that has happened over the past few years.”
David received advice that fully considered his complex medical history before starting medication. After 11 weeks, David lost nearly 4 stone, “I can already stand up straight for short spells and my goal is to walk normally without a stick.” He now feels hopeful about a healthier future.
