Dr Stevens is the founder of Preventative Health Doctors. He is a fully registered UK licenced GMC doctor with a special interest in men’s health. Dr Stevens studied medicine at Sheffield University and became a Bachelor of Medicine & Surgery in 1997. He spent a year in Australia working as a Resident Medical Officer, gaining experience in a number of different medical fields and an understanding of a different health system. With an interest in acute care and surgery, he returned to the UK in 2000 and completed a Basic Surgical Training rotation in Sheffield and Rotherham. Understanding that a patient is more than just the presenting disease, he changed career path, qualifying as a General Practitioner so that he could adopt a more holistic approach to patient care. He achieved the Membership of the Royal College of General Practitioners (MRCGP) examination in 2010.
His interest in Preventative Medicine developed after a period of working on the Cunard and P&O cruise ships as Ship’s Doctor, where he was awarded an Outstanding Performance Award for providing health promotion advice to the crew and running his own fitness class on-board, outside of his normal duties. He returned to terra firma to improve his understanding of maintaining health, qualifying as a REPS 3 Personal Trainer in 2013 and an Insanity Pro Team Instructor in 2014.
When not in clinic, Dr Stevens is providing medical support in the out of hours setting for the South West Ambulance Service Trust in Dorset. He is also a member of the British Society of Sexual Medicine (BSSM) and International Society for Sexual Medicine (ISSM).
The philosophy behind Preventative Health Doctors is one of prevention over cure. Modern medicine should be used in conjunction with adopting a more holistic approach to health; addressing lifestyle, nutrition and exercise. Preventative Health Doctors are here to support you in achieving and maintaining health, with the aim of putting you back in the driving seat so that you have full autonomy over the decisions you make and the path that you take.
Dr Stevens is inspired by the idea of enabling people to lead healthy and active lives for as long as possible. Why not aspire to both quality and quantity?
It is a shame for a man to grow old without seeing the beauty and strength of which his body is capable.

I’ve always encouraged people to take responsibility for their own health. It’s your life, live it to the fullest.
Lydia trained in Business Administration and IT within a large corporate organisation from 1997 to 2001. She found it initially interesting to be involved in the intricacies of running a successful business, however soon found it to be very unrewarding; wanting instead to work in an environment where she could make a discernible difference to a person’s life in some capacity.
She started working for the NHS in 2001 as a Medical Secretary in the X-ray department of Bournemouth Hospital, from where she was promoted to X-Ray Office Manager in 2002.
In 2005 she left to raise her family, although continued to provide secretarial and book-keeping services from home. She returned to the NHS providing administrative support in 2012, alongside the running of her busy family home life.
In 2016 she completed an ‘Advanced Sports and Exercise Nutritional Advisor’ Professional Diploma in order to expand her knowledge in the Sports Nutrition Field. She has always been interested in keeping herself fit, understanding the importance of a healthy diet and regular exercise.
Working within the NHS, I have witnessed first-hand the dire effects of leading an unhealthy lifestyle. This has made me even more determined to keep my whole family active and healthy in every way possible too.
