What Can a Private GP Help With? Discover Services for Sidmouth Residents

Private GP

27/04/2025 by Dr Marcus Gleave

Healthcare doesn’t always follow a 9-to-5 schedule. Sometimes, you need a doctor’s advice—fast. In Sidmouth and the wider East Devon area, many are discovering that a private GP offers not only rapid access but also continuity with a familiar, named doctor. For anyone in Sidmouth, our nearest practice in Exeter provides these advantages and more. In fact, over 30% of our patients travel from the Sidmouth area, often seeking the kind of personal, unrushed care that’s increasingly rare in modern medicine.

What Can a Private GP Help With?

Our private GPs can support almost every aspect of your health, whether you need a same-day appointment for a minor injury, regular checks for a chronic condition, or a second opinion on complex symptoms. From prescriptions and blood tests to annual health checks and longer consultations, comprehensive care from a private GP is about convenience paired with clinical excellence.

What Can’t a Private GP Do?

While private GPs offer a wide variety of health services, they aren’t a replacement for A&E or specialist NHS clinics. For example, we can’t provide emergency treatment for life-threatening conditions or access to free NHS prescriptions. Find out more about things our GPs can't assist with.

"Our patients from Sidmouth often tell us that fast appointments and seeing the same doctor each time are the main reasons they choose a private GP. Those small touches make all the difference."
