Private GP Appointment Criteria
To help us provide the highest standard of care and keep appointments running on time, each consultation is limited to one medical problem per appointment. If you have more than one concern, you may be advised to book an additional appointment.
Please arrive 15 minutes before your scheduled appointment to allow sufficient time for registration and observations. Patients who arrive late may have their appointment shortened or, if there is insufficient time to complete the consultation safely, the appointment may be recorded as "Did Not Attend (DNA)" and may need to be rebooked.
By booking this appointment, you confirm that:
- You are 18 years of age or older
- You do not have a temperature above 38°C
- You do not have a life-threatening medical emergency
- You do not have diarrhoea and/or vomiting
- Your appointment is not for a mental health assessment or crisis
- Your appointment is not for fertility or pregnancy-related concerns
- You are not experiencing severe or sudden shortness of breath or chest pain
- You are not experiencing symptoms suggestive of a heart attack or stroke
- You are not experiencing heavy or uncontrolled bleeding
If any of the above apply, please seek the most appropriate urgent medical care, such as NHS 111, your local Emergency Department (A&E), or by calling 999 in the event of a medical emergency, rather than booking a routine private GP appointment.
