Why would I see a private GP instead of my NHS GP?
Seeing a private GP can offer you more time, flexibility, and faster access. Appointments are typically longer, more in-depth, and can be scheduled at a time that suits you—often the same day. It’s a good option if you want to avoid waiting lists, need more personalised care, or have concerns you’d like to explore in more detail.
What kind of issues can a private GP help with?
Our GPs are experienced in a wide range of health concerns, including:
- Women’s health and gynaecological symptoms
- Menstrual problems and hormone-related concerns
- Menopause management
- Contraception and sexual health
- General health checks and preventive care
- Minor illnesses or infections needing prompt treatment
They also offer well-woman checks and can refer directly to our consultants if specialist input is needed.

What to Expect in a Private GP Appointment?
If you have never visited a private GP before, you may be unsure of what to expect. Below outlines what a private GP consultation typically comprises of:
- Medical history: We will begin by taking a detailed medical history, which includes information about any pre-existing medical conditions, allergies, medications, and previous surgeries.
- Physical examination: We will carry out a thorough physical examination, which may include checking your observations, such as blood pressure, temperature, and pulse. We may also examine your ears, nose, and throat, listen to your heart and lungs, and check your reflexes.
- Health concerns: You will have the opportunity to discuss any current health concerns or symptoms that you are experiencing. We will ask you questions to help determine the underlying cause of your symptoms.
- Diagnosis and treatment plan: Based on your medical history, physical examination, and symptoms, we will diagnose your condition and develop a customised treatment plan. This may include prescribing medication, recommending lifestyle changes, or referring you to a specialist for further investigation or treatment.
- Follow-up care: We may schedule follow-up appointments to monitor your progress and adjust your treatment plan, if necessary.
- Additional services: We offer additional services, such as health screenings, diagnostic tests, and vaccinations, which can be arranged during your consultation or at a later date.
We offer a GP service for all issues and concerns for women who prefer to visit a female general practitioner.
