Yes. 1 listed clinic offers NHS care. Check each clinic's listing for how to access its NHS services.
No. You can usually book a private GP appointment directly, without a referral. If you have private medical insurance, check whether your policy needs a referral for onward specialist care.
Yes. A private GP can issue a private prescription, which most pharmacies can dispense — you pay the actual cost of the medicine rather than the NHS prescription charge. With your consent, they can also write to your NHS GP about ongoing care.
It varies by clinic and package, but health screens often include checks such as blood pressure, blood tests, body measurements and sometimes an ECG, with a consultation to discuss the results. Always check exactly what a package covers before booking.
