Private GPs in Sheffield
Sheffield has a growing private GP sector, with clinics in the city centre and at the Thornbury and Claremont private hospitals. Many people use a private GP for same-day, evening or weekend appointments, health screening, travel vaccinations and fast private referrals.
What to expect locally
Private GP fees in Sheffield vary between clinics and packages, so confirm exactly what a consultation or health screen includes before booking. A private GP can issue a private prescription (dispensable at any pharmacy) and, with your consent, write to your NHS GP so your care stays joined up.
