The cost of a private GP appointment will vary depending on the type of appointment or service you require. For example, if you wanted to see a GP in-clinic and it is your first appointment, we would recommend a 30 minute appointment so that you have enough time with the doctor. The cost of this first appointment is £129. However, if you needed a follow-up appointment, the cost would be £99 for a 20 minute appointment, or £79 if you simply wanted to speak to the doctor via phone/video.

iGP offer same-day appointments, with minimal wait times, and longer consultation periods to address your health concerns promptly. We endeavour to see patients on the day that the enquiry is made and in most circumstances this is the case. However, where your first choice of appointment is not possible, due to greater demand at certain times, we will offer a suitable alternative. Generally, the sooner you contact us the greater opportunity for us to provide you with your ideal time and date.
