Need to see a Private GP?

So what’s the attraction with seeing a private GP?

For people living in UK, the five most popular reasons are:

1) Appointments to suit your schedule,

2) Longer appointment times (at least twice as long),

3) Seeing a GP with a particular interest e.g. a holistic approach to care; Interest in women’s health, able to perform minor surgery or joint injections; sexual health screening,

4) You want to have a vaccination such as chickenpox, shingles or whooping cough or a travel vaccine,

5) Convenient location to work, so less time wasted travelling or waiting to be seen.

Other common reasons to see a private GP:

  • Anonymity. If you want to see someone who doesn’t know you and your family, in case of a sensitive problem

  • To have a comprehensive wellness medical performed

  • If you are from outside the UK and visiting.

  • If you want to have more in-depth blood tests done

  • If you want to be seen on time and in a beautiful setting.

Privates GP’s in the UK can make prompt referrals either privately- if you want to be seen quicker or if you have private health insurance-or they can refer you via the NHS.

This includes referral for X-rays or other scans.
