Same-day appointments, answered

How quickly can I get a GP appointment?

Many patients are seen the same day. If you need advice quickly, it is best to contact the clinic as early as possible.

Can a private GP prescribe medication?

Yes — if appropriate following assessment, a private prescription can be issued and taken to any UK pharmacy.
