Frequently Asked Questions
Are There Are Additional Benefits In Becoming a My IGP member?
On making an appointment, all My IGP members will be highlighted by our diary system and given priority in appointments. Where no appointments are available, we will endeavour to either open an appointment for you, or where this is not possible, offer you a suitable alternative. It is our aim to offer our patients an appointment on the day an enquiry is made or within 24 hours of the enquiry.
MyIGP members will also receive either free of discounted vaccination, repeat prescriptions, test and/or screens.
By becoming a My IGP member, you can be assured that you will receive all the advantages of being a part of a quality private healthcare service. You can expect professional standards, quality assurance, convenient appointments, flexibility, fully confidential advice & treatments and a range of services to suit your healthcare needs and requirements.
Will It Affect My Relationship With My NHS GP If I become a My IGP member?
No, ultimately, it is the patient's health that GPs are most concerned with. We actively encourage you to remain registered with your NHS doctor, in most circumstances it is vital that you do. We can share our records with your NHS GP if you ask us to.
How Are IGP Regulated?
All doctors in the UK must be registered with the GMC (General Medical Council), who ensure doctors are qualified to work as doctors in the UK and have the necessary training and education. All private clinics who provide medical appointments or treatments in England and Wales need to be registered with CQC (Care Quality Commission) or HIW (Health Inspectorate Wales).
Do You Provide Appointments For Children?
Yes, we can see children from birth.
Can You Provide A Chaperone With My GP Appointment?

What If I Can't Make It In To an IGP Clinic?
