Private GP vs NHS GP
Both NHS and private GPs provide high-quality medical care. The main differences are:
Waiting time: We can usually offer private GP appointments on the same-day or next-day.
Appointment length: Our private consultations are 30 minutes which is longer than typically possible through the NHS.
No restrictions: Our clinicians can discuss all your concerns, conduct any required tests, prescribe medications as required and make any necessary referrals - we are not restricted by what is available on the NHS.
Continuity of care: You can choose which doctor to see - so you can see the same doctor each time who will get to know you.
Patients do not need to choose private or NHS - many patients use a private GP alongside their NHS GP. With your consent, we can share your medical notes with your NHS GP so they have a complete record.
