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. For a full list of our services and appointment costs, please see our Fees page.

Booking is available by calling 03456 252 252 or alternatively, most services can be booked directly online. For a full list of our services available for online booking, please see our Online Booking page.

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.

Yes, providing that the doctor is satisfied that the medication is clinically indicated, iGP doctors are able to provide a prescription for the medicines required. However, please be aware that as we are a private clinic, the medicines prescribed are not subject to NHS discounts and you will need to pay the cost of the medicines at the pharmacy. Alternatively, we can arrange for the medicines to be delivered to your home. For more information about our prescription services, please see our Prescriptions page.

To access private consultant or diagnostic services a GP referral is usually required. A consultant referral is included as part of a private GP appointment with iGP. If a referral is required, our GP’s will raise the referral and our admin team will liaise directly with the consultant to help arrange your appointment as swiftly and efficiently as possible. For more information about our referrals services, please see our Referrals page.

No, I'm afraid our services do not include emergency care. For instance, if you are sufferring from chest pains or breathing difficulties, we will always refer you to visit your local A & E department. Alternatively, if you believe it to be a life threatening situation we recommend that you contact the emergency services on 999.
