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.
