What is a private GP and how it works
A private GP is an independent general practitioner who provides consultations, diagnostic testing, referrals and ongoing care outside of the NHS queue. At SW11 Medical Clinic we combine experienced clinicians with efficient systems: book online or by phone, complete a short registration, and attend a face-to-face or video consultation. Where needed, we arrange blood tests, imaging or rapid specialist referrals without the long waits often experienced in public services.
We also offer integrated services such as aesthetic medicine and occupational health alongside our core general practice. For more information about our clinic approach, visit our private GP service page.
Who needs a private GP / Benefits
Patients choose a private GP for many reasons:
- Urgent non-emergency care when NHS waits are long (same-day or next-day appointments).
- Clear continuity of care with longer consultations for complex or chronic conditions.
- Access to rapid diagnostics such as blood tests and imaging.
- Flexibility: evening or video consultations for busy professionals and families.
- Private referrals to specialists and expedited appointments.
For working parents, international travellers, or people requiring quick investigations, the private route can save time and reduce stress. Our clinicians also focus on prevention, health screening and lifestyle advice to support long-term wellbeing.
Procedure walkthrough: what to expect at your appointment
Booking and registration: Call 020 7223 5114 or use our online booking to select a convenient time. New patients complete a short medical history form before their first visit.
Consultation: Appointments are patient-centred and typically last 15–30 minutes, longer for complex issues. Your GP will take a medical history, perform an examination if required, and discuss tests or referrals.
Diagnostics and tests: If investigations are needed, we can arrange blood tests, ECGs or ultrasound scans quickly, often within 24–72 hours depending on the test. Results are reviewed with you and a plan is made.
Prescriptions and referrals: We issue private prescriptions where appropriate and can provide urgent referrals to specialists with faster access than routine NHS pathways. Follow-up appointments can be booked to monitor progress.
Cost information and comparison
Private GP fees vary by clinic and consultation type. Typical consultation fees in London range from around £70 for a brief telephone consult to £150–£200 for a standard 20–30 minute face-to-face appointment. Additional charges may apply for urgent home visits, procedures, blood tests or imaging. At SW11 Medical Clinic we provide transparent pricing for appointments and diagnostics, and will always explain costs before proceeding.
Compared with NHS care, private GP services offer faster access and more appointment flexibility but involve direct fees. For many patients, the time saved, speed of diagnosis and convenience justify the cost—especially when rapid treatment prevents complications or lost workdays. We also support patients with NHS follow-up when appropriate, and provide clear documentation for insurance or employer reimbursement.
