Our GPs offer a wide range of services, including women’s health and advice on minor illnesses and assessment of more complex/ chronic conditions. If further investigations are required we can request blood tests, imaging, referrals, and provide private prescriptions. Please be aware that these may involve additional charges.

Blood tests are mostly performed the same day and requests for X-rays, scans and other imaging will often be undertaken very promptly with results often within a week.

Whilst not compulsory a brief medical history summary would be useful if available. You can request this from your NHS GP. Having access to your NHS GP records via the NHS app can also be helpful.
