Frequently asked questions
How much does a same-day private GP cost?
It depends on the provider, the appointment type (online or in person), the length and the time of day. Our private GP page lists each named provider's own lowest listed price by appointment type, with a link to the provider. They are starting prices, not a typical fee.
Are prescriptions included?
Prescription writing may be included, but the medicine cost and pharmacy charge are usually separate.
Can a private GP refer me to a specialist?
Yes, private GPs can write referral letters, but NHS acceptance and insurers' own requirements vary.
