What Happens During Your GP Home Visit?

When your GP arrives, they bring a portable medical kit and are fully prepared to carry out a comprehensive consultation and physical examination. They will take a detailed medical history, review your current medications, assess your symptoms, and agree the most appropriate next steps with you. 

Depending on your clinical needs, your doctor may carry out blood tests and other investigations during the visit, write a private prescription, arrange specialist referrals, or provide a sick note, medical reports, or fit-to-work certificate.

Book Your Private GP Home Visit in Three Simple Steps

  • 1. Book: Call our team to confirm your location, describe your symptoms, and book the earliest available visit. We'll give you your doctor's expected arrival window at the time of booking.
  • 2. Your Doctor Visits: Your GMC-registered private GP arrives fully equipped for a comprehensive consultation, physical examination, and any appropriate diagnostic tests.
  • 3. Your Care Plan: Your doctor explains their findings, answers your questions, and arranges any prescriptions, referrals, certificates, or follow-up care you need during or after the visit.

Before Your Doctor Arrives

To make the most of your appointment, it helps to have the following ready:

  • A clear, well-lit space where your GP can examine you.
  • A list of your current medications, including dosages.
  • Any relevant medical letters, test results, or previous consultation notes.
  • Details of your medical history, including any allergies.

What Can a Doctor Do During a Home Visit?

More than most people expect. Our home visiting GPs bring portable diagnostic equipment and, in many cases, can begin treatment, take blood samples, or arrange urgent investigations during a single visit. You receive the same clinical quality you would in a private GP appointment — without leaving home.

During your home visit, your GP may:

Diagnose and treat a wide range of acute and long-term conditions.
Carry out a comprehensive physical examination.
Take blood samples and carry out investigations during the visit, samples are couriered to our laboratory, with most results available within 24 hours.
Perform urine tests and swabs where clinically appropriate.
Issue a private prescription for medication.
Review your current medications and treatment plan.
Arrange specialist referrals for further assessment.
Issue sick notes, fit-to-work certificates, and medical certificates.
Advise on follow-up care via an online GP consultation or clinic appointment.
Develop a personalised treatment and recovery plan.

Important: Home visits are for non-emergency medical concerns. If you are experiencing chest pain, suspected stroke, difficulty breathing, or severe bleeding, call 999 immediately. Controlled drugs cannot be prescribed during a home visit.

Not sure whether a home visit or an Online GP Consultation would suit you better? Our team is happy to advise before you book.

Blood Tests During Your Home Visit

Blood tests can be taken during your home visit in most cases. Your doctor brings the necessary equipment, takes a blood sample during the consultation, and samples are couriered directly to our laboratory with most results available within 24 hours. Available blood tests include:

  • Full blood count.
  • Thyroid function.
  • Hormone panels.
  • Vitamin levels (including vitamin D and B12).
  • Cholesterol.
  • Liver and kidney function.
  • A range of additional panels depending on your clinical needs.

Laboratory fees are charged separately from your home visit consultation fee. Your GP will advise on which tests are clinically appropriate before proceeding.

Doctor Home Visits to Hotels and Workplaces

Our private GPs regularly visit hotel guests and business professionals across all eight of our clinic areas. Whether you're visiting the UK, are on a business trip, or simply prefer a consultation at your desk, we provide the same comprehensive clinical service — at your location.

  • Workplace visits: Same-day appointments for professionals who prefer not to leave their office.
  • Care home visits: Dedicated medical support for elderly residents and those requiring ongoing care.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a private GP home visit?

A private GP home visit is a full medical consultation carried out by a GMC-registered private GP at your home, hotel, workplace, or care home. Your doctor will take a medical history, carry out a physical examination, and arrange any prescriptions, tests, or referrals you need. It offers the same clinical standard as a clinic appointment, without you needing to travel.

How quickly can I book a same-day doctor home visit?

Same-day home visits are available in most of our coverage areas. Call our team before midday for the best chance of a same-day appointment. We'll confirm your doctor's expected arrival window at the time of booking.

Which areas do you cover?

We cover areas within approximately 30 minutes of each of our eight clinic locations: London, Birmingham, Derby, Leicester, Newcastle, Oxford, Sutton Coldfield, and Bournemouth. If you're unsure whether we cover your area, please call and we'll check availability.

Can I request a home visit for an elderly relative?

Absolutely. Our elderly home visit GP service is specifically suited to older adults, care home residents, and patients with mobility concerns. We work with carers and family members and can co-ordinate with the patient's NHS GP where appropriate.

Can a doctor visit my hotel?

Yes. Our GPs regularly visit hotel guests across the UK. Simply call our team, provide your hotel name and room number, and we'll arrange a visit at the most convenient time. This service is popular with both UK and international visitors.

Can I get a prescription during a home visit?

Yes. Your private GP can issue a private prescription during the home visit where clinically appropriate. The fee is £25. Prescriptions can be taken to any pharmacy, or we can advise on the nearest pharmacy to your location.

Can you take blood tests at home?

Yes. Blood tests and a range of other investigations can be completed during your home visit in most cases. Your doctor brings the necessary equipment, takes a blood sample on the spot, and samples are couriered to our laboratory with most results available within 24 hours. Laboratory fees are charged separately from the consultation fee.

Can I get a sick note during a home visit?

Yes. Your GP can issue a sick note (fit note) or medical certificate during the home visit where clinically appropriate. This is included within the £100 medical certificates charge.

How much does a private GP home visit cost?

Our private GP home visits start from £295. This compares favourably with the UK market range of £250–£500. A travel surcharge may apply for visits outside our standard 30-minute clinic radius. Prescriptions are £25, and medical certificates or specialist referral letters are £100.

Do I need private health insurance?

No. Our home visit service is available to all patients on a pay-as-you-go basis. If you do have private health insurance, it may cover some or all costs — check with your insurer before booking.

Can I call a doctor to come to my home?

Yes. If you are too unwell to travel, recovering from surgery, or caring for someone who cannot get to a clinic, a private GP home visit brings a GMC-registered doctor directly to your door. To arrange a visit with Private Medical Clinic, simply call 0208 050 0379. Our team will confirm availability, give you an estimated arrival window, and let you know if a travel surcharge applies to your address. Same-day visits are available when you call before midday — no referral or prior registration required.

Can a GP refuse to do a home visit?

An NHS GP can decline a home visit if they judge it clinically unnecessary, and in practice, routine home visits through the NHS have become significantly harder to arrange. Private GPs operate differently — a private GP home visit is specifically designed for patients who cannot travel easily, whether due to illness, mobility difficulties, post-operative recovery, or personal preference. Private Medical Clinic does not require any specific clinical threshold to be met before arranging a visit. If you feel a home visit is right for your situation, simply call us and our team will confirm availability.

How do I find a home visit doctor near me?

Private Medical Clinic offers same-day home visits across much of the UK. Call us on 0208 050 0379 and our team will confirm whether we cover your postcode, provide an estimated arrival window and let you know of any applicable travel surcharge. We have clinics in London, Birmingham, Newcastle, Leicester, Oxford, Derby, Sutton Coldfield and Bournemouth, and our visiting GPs travel from these locations to surrounding areas. There is no referral or membership required to book.

Are there any hidden charges for a private GP home visit?

No. Every fee is confirmed with you before your booking is finalised. The consultation fee covers your GP's time and clinical assessment. The only additional charges that may arise are those directly connected to your clinical care: a private prescription if issued (£25), a medical certificate or specialist referral letter (£100), laboratory fees for any blood tests taken (charged at cost and agreed before samples are taken), and a travel surcharge if your address falls outside our standard coverage area. There is no registration fee, no subscription and no membership required.

Will using a private GP affect my NHS registration?

Not at all. Using a private GP — whether for a home visit or a clinic appointment — has no effect on your NHS registration. You remain fully registered with your NHS GP and all your NHS entitlements continue as normal. We actively encourage patients to keep their NHS GP for ongoing and long-term care. With your consent, we can share a summary of your consultation with your NHS GP to support continuity, but this is entirely your choice and only ever happens with your permission.

What should I do if I think I am having a medical emergency?

Please call 999 immediately. A private GP home visit is not an emergency service. For a suspected heart attack, stroke, severe breathing difficulty, uncontrolled bleeding or loss of consciousness, do not wait for a GP — call 999 or go straight to your nearest A&E. Our doctors carry GP-level equipment and are not equipped for paramedic or resuscitation-level care. If you are unsure whether your situation is urgent but not an emergency, do call us on 0208 050 0379 and we will help you decide on the most appropriate course of action.

Does seeing a private GP affect my NHS registration?

No. Seeing a private GP does not affect your NHS registration or your right to NHS care. You should remain registered with your NHS practice. With your permission, your private GP can share consultation notes with your NHS doctor to keep your records complete.

Can children have a home visit?

Yes. Our GPs are experienced in paediatric care and can see patients of all ages, including infants and children. Home visits can be more comfortable and less distressing for young patients than a clinic visit.

Can I book an out-of-hours GP home visit?

Please contact our team to discuss out-of-hours availability. Same-day visits are available during clinic hours. Out-of-hours and weekend availability may vary by location — our team will confirm what is possible for your area.

What conditions cannot be treated at home?

Home visits are not suitable for medical emergencies. If you experience chest pain, suspected stroke, difficulty breathing, severe allergic reaction, or uncontrolled bleeding, call 999 immediately. Our GPs also cannot prescribe controlled drugs during a home visit.

Can I book a follow-up visit?

Yes. If ongoing home-based care is appropriate, we can arrange further visits. Follow-up care can also be provided via an online GP consultation or at your nearest PMC clinic — whichever is more convenient.

Can I choose my doctor?

We will always try to accommodate preferences for continuity of care. Please let our team know when booking if you have seen a specific GP previously and would like the same doctor where possible.

How long does a home visit take?

Up to 45 minutes. If you need a longer appointment — for example, to discuss multiple concerns or for elderly care — please let our team know when booking and we will arrange accordingly.

What should I do in a medical emergency?

Call 999 immediately. A private GP home visit is not a substitute for emergency care. If you are unsure whether your situation is an emergency, call 111 for guidance.

Does my GP do home visits?

NHS GPs can conduct home visits but they are typically reserved for patients who are housebound or too unwell to travel safely to a surgery — and demand has made them increasingly difficult to arrange. If you need a doctor to come to you and cannot wait, a private GP home visit is the most reliable option. Private Medical Clinic offers same-day home visits with GMC-registered GPs across the UK, including London, Birmingham, Newcastle, Leicester, Oxford, Derby, Sutton Coldfield and Bournemouth. You do not need to be registered with us or hold a referral from your NHS GP.

How much does a private GP home visit cost?

Private GP home visits with Private Medical Clinic start from £295. This covers a full consultation of up to 45 minutes at your home, hotel, workplace or care home — there is no membership requirement and no registration fee for new patients. A private prescription, if needed, is £25. Medical certificates, fit notes and specialist referral letters are £100 each. If blood tests are required during the visit, laboratory fees are charged separately at cost, and your GP will always confirm these with you before any samples are taken. A travel surcharge may apply for addresses outside our standard coverage area, and this is always confirmed before your booking is finalised.

How much does it cost to see a GP privately in the UK?

Standard private GP in-clinic appointments start from £95 at Private Medical Clinic. If you would prefer to be seen at home, a private GP home visit starts from £295. This higher fee reflects the doctor's travel time in addition to the consultation itself. Both options offer the same standard of clinical care — GMC-registered GPs, no time limits and same-day availability. A home visit is worth considering when you are too unwell to travel, recovering from a procedure, or arranging care for an elderly relative.

What does a doctor bring to a home visit?

Your GMC-registered GP arrives fully equipped for a comprehensive consultation and physical examination. Standard equipment includes a stethoscope, blood pressure cuff, otoscope, thermometer and pulse oximeter. They also carry blood sampling equipment for any on-site tests, and commonly used medications including injectable pain relief and anti-nausea treatment where clinically appropriate. You do not need to have any medical equipment at home — your doctor brings everything needed.

What is included in a private GP home visit?

A private GP home visit includes a full medical assessment of up to 45 minutes, a physical examination where clinically needed, and a clear treatment plan before your doctor leaves. Where appropriate during the same visit, your GP can also take blood samples for laboratory testing, issue a private prescription, refer you to a private specialist, or provide a medical certificate or fit note. Blood test laboratory fees are charged separately; your GP will always discuss any additional costs before proceeding.

How do I book a private GP home visit?

Simply call us on 0208 050 0379. There is no referral needed and no prior registration required — new patients are welcome to book directly. When you ring, have your address and a brief description of your concern to hand. Our team will confirm availability, give you an estimated arrival window and let you know if a travel surcharge applies before you commit to anything. For a same-day visit, please call as early in the day as possible.

Are your visiting doctors GMC-registered?

Yes. Every doctor who conducts home visits for Private Medical Clinic is fully registered with the General Medical Council and has experience in both NHS and private practice. You can verify any of our doctors at gmc-uk.org. Our Medical Director, Dr Simon Khela, is registered under GMC number 7419585. Private Medical Clinic is operated by Khela Medical Limited, which is registered with the Care Quality Commission (CQC registration number 1-26937169776) — the independent regulator of health and social care in England.
