What happens during an appointment

A standard GP appointment lasts 20 minutes and an extended appointment lasts 40 minutes, which can be helpful if you have more than one concern or a more complex history.

• Your GP listens to your concerns and asks about your symptoms and medical history
• Where needed, you are examined and any relevant checks are carried out
• Your GP explains what they think is happening and talks through your options
• Together you agree next steps, which may include tests, treatment, a prescription or a referral

Blood tests and investigations

Where clinically appropriate, your private GP can arrange blood tests and other investigations to help find the cause of symptoms or to check your general health. Results are reviewed by a clinician, who will explain what they mean and what to do next.

If you would like a broader review of your health, see our health checks. Costs for tests are separate from the consultation fee.

Private prescriptions

If medication is clinically appropriate, your GP can issue a private prescription that you can take to a pharmacy of your choice. The cost of the medicine is paid to the pharmacy and is separate from your consultation fee.

All prescribing is subject to individual clinical assessment, your medical history and any monitoring requirements. Some medicines cannot be prescribed without a full assessment.

Specialist referrals

If you need to see a specialist, your private GP can discuss whether a referral is appropriate and arrange a private referral where you choose to go that route. Fees charged by specialists and hospitals are separate from your GP consultation.

You are always free to ask us for a referral letter to take to your NHS GP if you prefer to use NHS services.
