Opting for private healthcare can offer faster access to medical care and personalised attention, making it an attractive choice for many individuals.NHS GP surgeries are facing challenges in offering prompt consultations, with appointments restricted to 10 minutes and a growing desire among patients to secure medical attention beyond regular working hours.
Private GP appointments emerge as a viable solution, offering swift access to healthcare for those seeking timely assistance. However, one crucial factor to consider is the cost associated with private healthcare, especially when consulting a private General Practitioner (GP) in the UK.
The expense of seeing a private GP can fluctuate based on various elements, including the practice's location, the duration of the appointment, and the GP's experience and qualifications. Generally, a private GP consultation typically ranges between £50 to £150 per appointment. Private Medical Clinic aims to make GP consultations affordable and accessible to our patients, starting from £49 for telephone appointments:
In-Clinic GP Consultation
£95
Video GP Consultation
£79
Telephone GP Consultation
£49
Private GP appointments are accessible in-person throughout the UK or can be conducted virtually through online consultations, making the process of securing one straightforward. Nevertheless, despite the apparent ease of options provided by healthcare companies, there are several factors to take into account before scheduling an appointment. These factors include:
Private Medical Clinic aims to be as transparent as possible about the potential fees following a GP appointment. Our GP appointments are not time limited, allowing you to discuss your concerns in detail without feeling time pressured.

Individuals might find that private healthcare costs are covered by private medical insurance. Some employers include private medical insurance in their employee benefits package, while individuals can also independently purchase private medical insurance. This insurance can encompass the expenses of private GP consultations, along with specialised tests, treatments, and referrals.
