Inside a Private GP Consultation at Hale: A Walk-Through
For something people hesitate over, a first private GP appointment is remarkably undramatic. This is what actually happens, start to finish, so you know what you're booking.
Online, any time. You'll see actual available times, choose your GP, and pick in-person at our Hale clinic or a video/telephone slot. Prices are on the page (from £125, most standard consultations £220), so there's nothing to discover later.
Expect to be listened to at length; it's the single thing new patients remark on most. Your GP takes a full history, examines where relevant, and explains their thinking in plain English. Two or three concerns? Bring them all. The appointment is built for the whole picture, not one issue per ticket.
Nothing exotic happens in a private consultation. It's simply general practice with its most important ingredient restored: enough time to do medicine properly, with a doctor you can see again by name. Most people wonder why they waited so long.
Online, in about two minutes. Choose your GP, your format (in-person, video or phone) and a time that suits. No registration fees or waiting lists.
Yes, and you should. Consultations are long enough to cover your concerns properly rather than rationing you to one issue per visit.
From £125, with most standard GP consultations at £220. Every price is published upfront, with membership options that reduce costs for regular visitors.
