PLEASE NOTE THAT THE MAJORITY OF ESSENTIALLY MEDICAL MEETINGS ARE NOW VIA ZOOM OR MICROSOFT TEAMS – Please refer to our meetings page.
Essentially Medical organises free, non-promotional, Consultant-led educational meetings held virtually in GP surgeries.
The company was formed in 2004 and Evelyn Diamond, Managing Director says:
“It’s a simple idea, but unique and extremely cost-effective. With a wide range of specialities covered, we organise these meetings free-of-charge at a time to suit the GP and the Consultant. Usually, these take place early morning, lunchtime or evening.
“What’s special about the service that we offer is that it makes the best use of time. We all know that GPs and Consultants are extremely busy people and that they rarely have time to meet, so we aim to maximise the use of their time by ensuring that the GPs get the training they require, when and where they want it and literally bring it to them at their place of work.
Pharmaceutical or medical equipment companies can sponsor the meetings all of which follow the guidelines set out in the ABPI Code of Practice
“We estimate that we have saved the NHS many thousands of pounds. At a time when every penny counts thanks to budget cuts and an ageing population, these savings are substantial. We believe that this service provides substantial savings to the NHS and improves the effectiveness of Primary Care.”
“We’re very proud of the links that we’ve made and the training that we’ve provided. The fact that we have now organised more than six thousand meetings, bringing together colleagues to learn about developments in all areas of health proves that it’s a win-win situation for everyone involved.”
So interesting – definitely use her again! Thank you so much.

It has always been a pleasure to work with you. The meetings are always worthwhile and one of the reasons my sales are always positive, over the last 27 years !

“Thank you so much for a very helpful, practical talk – wonderful to see you much you stress lifestyle changes as being so important 👏 ”
“Thank you very much”
“Thank you so much for a very informative presentation”
“Fantastic! Thank you so much!”
The role Essential Medical plays can’t be underestimated. We do not know any of the younger GPs anymore and your company acts as an excellent interface to brings GPs and hospitals doctors together under the same umbrella of education. This can’t be underestimated!

Consultant Urological Surgeon
Thank you again for arranging the session. It really was an excellent talk by Mrs Kalpana Devalia; Very informative, covered the topic extremely well and pitched at the perfect level for GPs. We’ve all come away learning a lot.
The Q+A was also especially helpful and allowed some dynamic discussion and learning which was great.
Best wishes

I am proud to be associated with Essentially Medical. Please keep on doing the good work that you do!
It’s so nice to read about the Essentially Medical journey – I can’t believe you have delivered over 3,000 meetings… that must warrant some kind of celebration!
Congratulations on creating a much needed (and much valued) service – we are proud to be a part of it!
Thank you so much for putting on such a great event yesterday, I thoroughly enjoyed it.

I hope the below is useful for Mr. Hart and his teaching on the acute abdomen. When talking to the attendees after, I gained very positive feedback. His approach and presentation was extremely good.
The teaching was done in a clear manner * * * * *
The Tutor clearly explained the purpose of the teaching and outlined objectives * * * * *

We had a really good teaching session last night. Evelyn Diamond (Essentially Medical) has coordinated with the consultant Mr Lee Dvorkin to be able to bring it together. We received really good feedback also.
Myself and the GPs are looking forward to starting these meetings up again!
From the beginning I have been happy to recommend the meetings put on by Evelyn and her Essentially Medical team. They are very well organized and there is an excellent range of knowledgeable Consultant speakers who welcome an interactive approach with the GPs and nurses they address.
Essentially Medical has provided me with the opportunity to meet GPs and nurses by offering them medical education in the comfort of their own surgeries. Increasingly GPs are finding it difficult to attend central meetings and they are very appreciative of those who are able to take the time to meet them in their surgeries. A face to face meeting is invaluable and as well as educating them in my chosen speciality, I am also able to advise them of services available from my NHS hospital.
Warmest congratulations Evelyn and well done! You have really helped my practice and I am very grateful.
Kindest regards
Thank you for all the brilliant meetings this year.
Evelyn at Essentially Medical offers a fantastic service, matching GP/practice learning needs with educational talks by local consultants. Essentially Medical enable us to effortlessly arrange a tailored educational package to our practice.
In email to Dr Dean Creer, Consultant Chest Physician at Barnet Hospital – Thank you for a really comprehensive presentation on spirometry last night, I have heard several presentations over the years on spirometry, but this was the clearest and most helpful.
Dear Susan,
Thank you for arranging the meeting and such an excellent speaker. Dr Roche’s talk was fascinating yet applicable to our daily work. I will find out if anyone else would like such meetings.
I enjoyed the evening and the rep was suitably brief and to the point (have mailed him for a reference and will wait and see how responsive he is!) I’m impressed you found a good speaker at short notice. The topic was interesting and picked up on an area I felt quite weak in.
I will bear EM in mind if/when in conversation with practices I work with regarding lunchtime meetings.
Dear Evelyn
Thank you for organising another great meeting and please thank Miss Golara for a super talk. The feedback was hugely positive.
We find the consultant led lunchtime meetings extremely useful and informative. The meetings are relevant as we are able to select topics.
Great to have such positive feedback. Thanks for all your organizational efforts. I look forward to the next one.
