Can I see my NHS GP and a private GP?

Patients can access both NHS and private healthcare. The NHS is a publicly funded healthcare system that is available to all individuals who are eligible for care in the UK. This means that anyone can access NHS services, regardless of their ability to pay.Private healthcare, on the other hand, is provided by private healthcare providers and is typically paid for out-of-pocket (self-pay) or through private health insurance. Patients who choose to use private healthcare services have the option to seek treatment with private GPs, specialists, and hospitals.Patients are free to choose whether they want to access NHS or private healthcare, or a combination of both. However, it is important to note that not all services are available through both the NHS and private healthcare providers.
