Dr Tamimi is committed to empowering patients to regain control of their health, ensuring that an illness does not dictate their lives. He takes a transparent approach to communication, explaining the ‘what,’ ‘why,’ and ‘how’ of medical conditions and enlightening patients to develop a deep understanding of their health.
He believes that the essence of medical care lies beyond numbers and images on a screen; it centres on the patient, their unique symptoms, and the impact these have on their daily life and loved ones.
With over 8 years of experience in hospital medicine, he navigated the spectrum of medical emergencies, from the front doors of hospitals to the complexities of intensive care units. This wealth of medical knowledge is what he brings to our clinic.
Beyond the clinic, he is dedicated to giving back to the community. Collaborating with a charity organisation to provide essential medical services to the homeless, rough sleepers, and sex workers of Bournemouth. Additionally, conducting patient education sessions with the YMCA focusing on how individuals can manage chronic diseases while being homeless.
He is completing a Master’s in Nanomedicine at the University of Oxford. This endeavour places him at the forefront of personalised medicine, ensuring he brings the patients the latest advancements.
Fluent in Arabic, his unique background, rooted in a mix of Middle Eastern cultures, grants him valuable insights into the cultural differences between the East and West, helping him tailor clinical management to various specific needs and preferences.
Outside of medical practice, he finds tranquillity in nature. Embarking on solo wild camping adventures in the remote mountains of the Scottish Highlands and other remote locations. Being in nature provides him with a profound sense of connection and enjoyment with the world around him.
As well as having membership to the Royal College of General Practitioners, he has membership to the Royal College of Physicians after many years of training in hospitals in all aspects of internal medicine. This makes him an excellent diagnostician adding to his many skills.

Under certain circumstances it may be appropriate to arrange admission to hospital directly which we can do via our close network of specialists.

The general answer to this is “No”. UK based Private Health Insurance companies will usually only recognise for the purposes of reimbursement, the services of individuals whom they define as Specialists.
We do not generally deal directly with insurance companies and work on the basis of individuals and corporations settling their own accounts and then claiming back directly with their respective insurance companies.
