Private GP London: Female-Led GP Services
London Gynaecology's private GP service gives you fast, unhurried access to experienced female GPs, for any health concerns. Appointments are unhurried with no referral required and no waiting list.
Our GPs have specialist expertise in menopause care and are recognised by the British Menopause Society. For menopause, we offer a dedicated GP menopause consultation. Your first appointment is 45 minutes, giving us time to look at your symptoms in the context of your whole health and life.
Our GPs work alongside our consultant gynaecologists and in-house diagnostics team, so if you need a scan, blood test or specialist opinion, it can usually be arranged within days, or the same day in urgent cases.

Private GP FAQs
How much does a private GP appointment cost in London?
A 30-minute GP consultation costs £190. A first GP menopause consultation is 45 minutes and costs £325 in central London or £275 at our Richmond clinic. Once you have been seen, 15-minute follow-up appointments (£100) may be offered where appropriate.
How long are appointments with a private GP?
Our appointments are 30 minutes as standard, giving you time to talk through your concerns.
Can I book a same-day GP appointment in London?
Yes. In most cases we can offer same-day appointments. At busier times, appointments are usually available within 24 hours.
Why would I see a private GP instead of my NHS GP?
Seeing a private GP offers more time, flexibility and faster access. Appointments are longer and more in-depth, and can often be arranged 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.
Can I see a private GP for any health concern I'd normally take to my NHS GP?
Yes. Our private GPs can help with any general health issue, from infections, skin problems and fatigue to ongoing conditions like asthma, anxiety or high blood pressure. You don't need a specific women's health concern to book.
Is it worth seeing a GP for just one concern?
Absolutely. Even something simple, like a suspected infection or a question about your period, can be looked into quickly, with tests or specialist referral arranged if needed.
Should I see a GP or a gynaecologist for menopause?
Many women start with a GP menopause consultation. Our GPs have specialist expertise in menopause care and are recognised by the British Menopause Society. If you need a specialist opinion, your GP can refer you straight to one of our consultant gynaecologists.
What happens at a GP menopause consultation?
Your first GP menopause consultation is 45 minutes, because we take a holistic, biopsychosocial and trauma-informed approach. Alongside treatment options, it can cover nutritional and supplement advice, metabolic and gut health, and GLP-1 discussions where relevant.
Can the GP refer me for tests or to a specialist?
Yes. Our GPs have direct access to in-house diagnostics and consultants, so an ultrasound, blood test or specialist consultation can usually be arranged with minimal delay. Referral letters are also available if you have healthcare insurance.
Can your private GP refer me for scans, blood tests or X-rays?
Yes, including blood tests with fast turnaround, ultrasound scans, X-rays, MRI and CT scans, and smear tests. Because we work closely with leading diagnostic centres and our in-house specialists, these can usually be arranged within days, or the same day in urgent cases.
Do I need a referral to see your private GP?
No referral is needed. You can book directly with us online, by phone, or in person.
Where can I see a private GP in London?
Our private GP service is available at London Gynaecology's clinics in Harley Street, Moorgate and Richmond, as well as online by video.
Can I have an online GP appointment?
Yes. If you'd rather not travel in, we offer video appointments with the same GPs, well suited to follow-ups, prescriptions, or a first conversation about what's going on.
Can I get prescriptions from your private GP?
Yes. We can issue private prescriptions during your appointment, and many medications can be collected the same day from a local pharmacy or delivered to you at home.
Can I use this service if I'm already registered with an NHS GP?
Yes. Seeing a private GP doesn't affect your NHS registration. Many patients use us for faster access, specialist referrals or second opinions while remaining registered with their NHS GP.
Can I use my medical insurance to cover a private GP appointment?
Some policies cover private GP appointments, depending on your provider. We recommend checking with your insurer before booking, and we can provide a detailed invoice or receipt for any claim.
What happens during a private GP appointment?
We start with a detailed medical history, including pre-existing conditions, allergies, medications and previous surgeries, followed by a physical examination. You'll have the chance to discuss your current concerns, and we'll agree a diagnosis and treatment plan together, which may include medication, lifestyle advice or a specialist referral. We'll arrange follow-up care if needed.
