Every person at My Private Clinic is here because they believe in what we're building — accessible, compassionate, expert-led healthcare for the people of Preston.
MBChB, University of Manchester
Dr Faizal Secretary founded My Private Clinic in 2026 after a career spanning NHS general practice, urgent care, out-of-hours medicine and hospital specialties across Preston, Blackpool, Blackburn and Manchester.
His medical journey began at the age of 16 as a clinical observer at Royal Preston Hospital — an experience that confirmed what he already suspected: medicine was his purpose. He went on to study at the University of Manchester before returning to complete his foundation and GP training across the Preston and Chorley area.
His hospital experience is unusually broad for a GP, having worked across cardiology, urology, paediatrics, accident and emergency, gynaecology, dermatology, ophthalmology, ear, nose and throat, respiratory medicine, gastroenterology, stroke medicine and general surgery. This depth of experience informs every consultation he carries out.
He founded My Private Clinic not to leave the NHS behind — but to build something alongside it. A practice where prevention matters as much as treatment. Where patients are partners, not recipients. Where the people of Preston get the standard of care they deserve.
"Preston gave my family everything. My education, my career, my home. Building this clinic here isn't a business decision — it's a personal one."
— Dr Faizal SecretaryMy Private Clinic is one doctor today. It will not always be. As the practice grows, Dr Faizal is building a team — nurses, healthcare assistants, podiatrists, consultants, radiographers and more — with the same commitment to compassionate, expert, accessible care. If you'd like to be part of what we're building, we'd love to hear from you.
