In-Clinic
We provide same-day GP appointments with our experienced doctors in Belfast city centre. Our patients travel from throughout Northern Ireland.
Did you know you can also book a Video or telephone GP appointment for £75?

Same or next-day private GP appointments in person available Monday to Friday at our Belfast city centre clinic. No registration or referral needed to book.
We encourage all new patients to book a new patient 30 minute GP appointment so that we can understand your health needs better and get to know you.
We want to ensure all your health concerns are covered and address any preventative medicine that can be initiated: such as checking your blood pressure, discussing nutrition and exercise and general healthy habits.
If you require a particular procedure, such as a joint injection or want to discuss something specific like the menopause, or ADHD please see our other GP services for more tailored appointments.
This appointment is useful for repeat visits for patients who we have met before, or for a review of a previous concern. It’s also perfect for common problems such as a sore throat, acne, a rash, a sexual health concern, a urine infection or something that has just begun recently.
Many people prefer a longer consultation for ongoing appointments.
This is to understand clearly what is going on, to ask questions, or discuss in detail a longstanding problem. This is useful for mental health issues, longstanding joint pains, chronic fatigue or for more than one medical concern. It allows for a full physical examination and clear medical plan.
Useful for long-standing hip, shoulder or back pain, or generalised joint pains or for mental health concerns such as anxiety and depression. This appointment gives us time to understand more clearly what the problem might be and to make a clear plan to address it systematically.
