GP services since 1998. Our team of private GPs

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 7
pm. We are open six days per week and will
always accommodate a same-day appointment
request, just call and book. We look forward to
meeting you and helping you whatever the medical
issue.

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. Our appointment times may run over
due to emergencies that arise occasionally, so
you should allow enough time for metered parking
to accommodate 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 available 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.

Your attendance at our clinic will not be
disclosed to any third party without your
consent, including to your NHS General
Practitioner (GP). Our clinical team will,
however, respectfully discuss the benefits of
sharing any significant findings with your NHS GP

Paying for your treatment
The GP consultation fee is 95. 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. 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.

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.

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.
