About Us

A team of doctors and nurses with wide and varied experience, based in Stonehouse, Plymouth.

 

Many of the people we see in Aquamarine Medicals are essential workers who have been travelling the world throughout the pandemic. They often comment how difficult it is to find somewhere to have the vaccines and blood tests they need.

With this in mind, and now that people are travelling again, it seemed only natural for us to gather a friendly, expert team to start Aquamarine Health Clinic. Based in Plymouth, we are happy to be able to offer vaccines for work, travel or your general health and also private blood tests for purposes of employment or health promotion.

Aquamarine Health Clinic offers online booking with initial consultations either online or face to face, with street level access to our clinic.
