Background
Regent Street Clinic has been providing private
GP services since 1998 and has clinics across the
UK, with branches in Nottingham, Derby,
Leicester, Sheffield, Leeds and London.
Our team of private GPs and nurses includes both
male and female clinicians who understand that
when it comes to your health, there are times
when you just need to address your health concern
or worry as soon as possible and without
delay.  Our private GPs offer appointments at a
time to suit you, including on weekends and late
evenings until 7pm.   We are open six days per
week and will always accomodate a same day
appointment request, just call and book.

Attending for Your Appointment
Try and attend around 15 minutes prior to the
appointment time, to allow some time to complete
the new patient health questionnaire and
registration forms.   All of our clinics are
centrally located with excellent road and rail
links. Some clinics have their own private car
parks on-site. The Nottingham clinic has metered
parking immediately outside the building as well
as being immediately adjacent to an NCP car park
on Mount Street.  
Our appointment times may run over due to
emergencies that arise occasionally, so you
should allow enough time for metered parking to
accomodate this. We recommend paying for an hours
worth of parking if using on-street meters.

Attending for Your Appointment
Our appointment times may run over due to
emergencies that arise occasionally, so you
should allow enough time for metered parking to
accomodate this. We recommend paying for an hours
worth of parking if using on-street
meters.   Appointment times are not restricted
and the doctor will spend as long as is necessary
to take a thorough medical history and to perform
a clinical examination where necessary.
Chaperones will be avaiable for sensitive
examinations and you are welcome to attend with
as many friends or relatives as you wish.   You
can discuss as many medical issues as you feel
necessary that are causing you concern. The
doctor will be fully attentive and will be trying
to help identify the best care pathway to
optimise your clinical care, whether that
involves reassurance only, some investigations or
a referral to a private specialist consultant.

Aftercare
Blood results are typically available the
following working day. Urine results usually take
2-3 working days.   We allow 2-3 days for result
turnaround for attendees over the weekend who
have had blood and/or urine tests.   Imaging
results such as X-ray/MRI/CT/Ultrasound can take
up to 5 days as we are dependent upon them being
reported by the consultants at the local private
hospitals.   All results are conveyed to you and
discussed with you by the requesting
doctor.   You are encouraged to have access to
your results so that a shared care management
plan can be implemented.   All results can be
forwarded to you by e-mail, fax or hard copy.
Hardware such as compact discs and x-ray films
are your possessions and will be sent to you or
they can be collected by you in person from the
clinic.

Aftercare
The doctor will discuss whether any further
follow-up is necessary and will make arrangements
by way of a further face to face consultation, a
telephone consultation or a referral to a
hospital consultant.   You will be made fully
aware of the care pathway recommended and whether
this is going to be best accessed through the
private sector or the NHS route, dependent upon a
number of factors, not least the most financially
acceptable model for each patient.   A report
will be issued highlighting the significant
clinical findings, which can be discussed with
other healthcare professionals if needed.

Booking Your Appointment
Once you have decided that you would like to see
a private doctor or nurse, simply call our
central booking office on 0800 583 3331 and
request an appointment to attend on a day and at
a time to suit you.   You will be asked for the
following information   Which clinic you would
like to attend - Nottingham, Derby, Leicester,
Sheffield, Leeds or London.   When you would like

Paying for your treatment
The GP consultation fee is 50.  Additional
services such as blood tests and scans will be
supplementary and the costs of these to the
laboratory or local private hospital will be
discussed during the consultation.   Payment is
due at the end of the consultation with the
health professional and on the same day as being
seen.   The costs of any additional tests or
investigations will be discussed fully during the
consultation.   Private health insurance is
unlikely to cover the cost of a private GP
consultation in the UK, with the exception of
BUPA International and International SOS, who
will pre-authorise the consultation and any
additional tests to a set value. Please check the
policy of your private insurance provider before
making your appointment.

Paying for your treatment
As a rule Regent Street Clinic does not liaise
with insurance providers and our fees are due on
the day of treatment.   If you do have private
health insurance then you will be expected to
claim back the costs of your medical care having
been furnished with an invoiced receipt from us,
itemising the services you have
received.   Payments can be made using cash,
debit cards, credit cards, BACS transfer or
PayPal.   We do not accept personal cheques or
American Express.   Certain services that we ofer
are non-refundable and are available to view in
our patient handbooks at each clinic.   These
include all dispensed medication, including
anti-malarials
