A family practice and teaching clinic
The clinic's motto is 'Your wellness, our priority', and it positions its GPs as the first call for most health needs, offering continuity of care with a record of your history kept in one place. It is a recognised teaching practice for the University of Malta and for the Department of Health's Specialist Training Programme, so trainee doctors learn alongside the established team.
Accessibility is built in. The clinics can be reached by ramp or wheelchair lift, have spacious reception areas and provide sanitary facilities for wheelchair users. Home visits are available on request for patients who cannot travel.
The doctors and podiatrist
Dr Philip Sciortino is a family doctor who specialises in family medicine and occupational health, and he leads the clinical team at the Ħaż-Żebbuġ site. Dr Marthese Sciortino is a family doctor with a special interest in women's health and bedside ultrasound, working in Paola on gynaecology, pregnancy and breast ultrasound. Dr Paul Sciortino is a family doctor in general practice who consults at several sites and focuses on continuity of care.
Joe Sciortino is the practice's podiatrist, with a special interest in sports podiatry and foot and ankle ultrasound. His work covers biomechanics, injury rehabilitation, podiatric imaging and diabetic foot care.
GP and diagnostic services
General practice is the foundation of the clinic. Patients can book a consultation or use a walk-in session at Paola according to the published calendar, receive long-term care for chronic conditions, and arrange specialist follow-up. Diagnostic tools are available on site, including blood tests, electrocardiograms for diagnosis and sports screening, and bedside ultrasound of muscles, joints and organs.
Preventive care covers health screening, routine check-ups and vaccinations for all ages, including childhood, travel and occupational health vaccines. This is useful for UK residents who need vaccines before a trip. Minor procedures include skin tag removal, cryotherapy, wound suturing, cyst treatment and abscess drainage, alongside ear syringing, hearing screening and audiograms. Skin concerns can be reviewed by a GP, with referral if specialist care is needed, and joint injections are listed for arthritis and tendon problems.
Women's health at the Paola clinic
Women's health consultations take place in Paola by appointment only, on Monday, Tuesday and Thursday to Saturday. The service covers preventive screening such as Pap smears and breast health examinations, pregnancy surveillance from early scans to postnatal guidance, and the management of everyday concerns including menstrual irregularities, menopause and pelvic health.
Bedside ultrasound is available for pregnancy monitoring and other concerns, and the doctors keep the emphasis on prevention and wellbeing at every stage of a woman's life. If you are living in Malta or are pregnant while visiting, send an enquiry before you travel so the clinic can tell you what it can offer.
Podiatry, counselling and occupational therapy
Podiatry is available by appointment at the Ħaż-Żebbuġ and Paola clinics, and at several outreach sites. Services include sports and routine foot care, foot and ankle ultrasound, treatment for corns, calluses, ingrown toenails and fungal infections, diabetic foot assessments, biomechanical evaluation with custom orthotics, children's foot health and wart removal. Home visits can be arranged.
The clinic also offers confidential counselling for individuals, couples and adolescents, and occupational therapy that supports independence in daily living. Both are described as evidence-based and tailored to the client.
