Frequently asked questions

Tailored care designed to achieve the best health outcomes for you

Will I lose my NHS GP if I use your private clinic?
No you are still fully entitled to NHS GP care. We also pride ourselves on our communication with our NHS surgery colleagues and can share as much or as little as you want to with your practice.

Unfortunately, at this time, we can only make referrals to private consultants and for private scans. If we feel you require a referral or investigations, but you would prefer to do these via the NHS, we will be able to provide you with a letter to take to your NHS GP and advise you book an appointment with them. It would ultimately be at their professional discretion of course. In situations where a cancer diagnosis is ever suspected, the NHS offer a rapid suspected cancer referral, where you should be seen within two weeks. If this is suspected at any time we would usually ask you to see your NHS GP to get this referral organised and provide a letter with details to show them. You can of course still opt to go privately if this is preferred but we would always check you have secured an appointment quickly if cancer was suspected.

After you see or speak to a GP they will advise if it is suitable to be followed up. This could be either to check you are feeling better or to review the results of tests or specialist review. You are eligible for a discounted follow up appointment and can either book this on the same day as your first appointment or within three months of being seen.

At this time we do not. However, it is likely in the future we will be offering membership options.

Your doctor will receive the results from the lab promptly and review these. We will then contact you to book your follow up appointment, if not already booked, to go over these in detail. If you do not want another appointment, our admin team will be able to give you a copy of your results but would encourage you to discuss these with a clinician using our discounted follow up appointments or with your NHS GP.

Yes we have both male and females and understand you may have a preference. Please see our GP details for info on areas of expertise.

We will provide you with either a private paper prescription or a code which will be sent to your phone or email. You can go to most pharmacies to collect your medications using these methods but will be charged by the chemist according to their own drug fees. Please note at this time we cannot provide controlled drugs. We can also organise a delivery service with our partner pharmacies if desired.

This should be rare if the correct appointment has been booked. However, if this occurs and you are local, we will offer you a discounted face to face appointment in our clinic. If you are far away our GPs will guide you to other options which may include your NHS GP, 111 or ED.

Our GPs will refer you into the local NHS acute hospital via A and E or a specific hospital team. We also have access to acute private hospitals in the UK if this would be your preferred option.

At this time we are unable to. However, this may change in the future so please do keep an eye on our website for any developments.

Parking is readily available on our premises at the oasis health care centre. Although rare, if the car park is full, you can also park in the overflow car park located behind the adjacent social club. If you get lost on route, please contact us so we can help and alert our clinicians.

We accept most major debit and credit cards. Payments for initial appointments are made online, at the time of booking, or over the phone. If you prefer cash, you can come to the clinic to book your appointment and receive a discounted rate! Follow up appointment payments or fees for tests will be made to our admin team in person for clinic appointments after your initial consultation. Or you will receive a phone call shortly after your virtual consultation to arrange the follow up and payment via card.. Cash payments for follow ups/lab tests also come with a discounted rate

Our standard appointments last up to 15 minutes and our extended appointments up to 30 minutes. Please see our guidance on appointment types for further information.
