Our private GP, nurse and technician appointments provide you with faster tailored access to professional help and advice when you need it most.
This pay as you go option, provides you with access to private doctor, nurse and technician services, including personal health screening, medical checks, ear wax removal service, and investigations.
You can access a range of professional support services, to help you make the right decisions and to improve your health or feeling of wellbeing and to assist in the assessment and management of acute diseases, disorders or injury.
This service is not intended to replace your NHS primary care GP, and rather supports and supplements existing services where you identify that this may be helpful to you.
Services commonly provided may include detailed history-taking and examination, the formulation of a diagnosis, and where relevant confirmatory pathology testing.
You are offered an explanation and shared understanding of your health and wellbeing status, with focus on areas requiring attention or management.
Treatment options and associated costs are discussed at the time of your appointment, with consideration of the pros and cons of each option.
