2. Attending for your appointment: • Try and attend around 15 minutes prior to the appointment time, to allow some time to complete the new patient health questionnaire and registration forms. • All of our clinics are centrally located with excellent road and rail links. Some clinics have their own private car parks on-site. • Our appointment times may run over due to emergencies that arise occasionally, so you should allow enough time for metered parking to accommodate this. We recommend paying for an hours worth of parking if using on-street meters. • Appointment times are not restricted and the doctor will spend as long as is necessary to take a thorough medical history and to perform a clinical examination where necessary. • You can discuss as many medical issues as you feel necessary that are causing you concern. The doctor will be fully attentive and will be trying to help identify the best care pathway to optimise your clinical care, whether that involves reassurance only, some investigations or a referral to a private specialist consultant.

3. Aftercare: • Blood results are typically available the following working day. Urine results usually take 2-3 working days. • We allow 2-3 days for result turnaround for attendees over the weekend who have had blood and/or urine tests. • Imaging results such as X-ray/MRI/CT/Ultrasound can take up to 5 days as we are dependent upon them being reported by the consultants at the local private hospitals. • All results are conveyed to you and discussed with you by the requesting doctor. • You are encouraged to have access to your results so that a shared care management plan can be implemented. • All results can be forwarded to you by e-mail, fax or hard copy. Hardware such as compact discs and x-ray films are your possessions and will be sent to you or they can be collected by you in person from the clinic.

4. Booking Your Appointment: • Once you have decided that you would like to see a private doctor or nurse, simply call our central booking office on 0800 583 3331 and request an appointment to attend on a day and at a time to suit you. • You will be asked for the following information: • Which clinic you would like to attend – Nottingham, Derby, Leicester, Sheffield, Leeds or London. • When you would like to attend – day and time. • The nature of your query. • Your name and contact details: It is not mandatory for these details to be disclosed if confidentiality and discretion are an issue. However, it is preferable to give us correct details whenever possible with a method of contacting you should the need arise (usually mobile telephone number or e-mail address).

5. Paying for your treatment: • The GP consultation fee is £50. • Additional services such as blood tests and scans will be supplementary and the costs of these to the laboratory or local private hospital will be discussed during the consultation. • Payment is due at the end of the consultation with the health professional and on the same day as being seen. • The costs of any additional tests or investigations will be discussed fully during the consultation. • Private health insurance is unlikely to cover the cost of a private GP consultation in the UK, with the exception of BUPA International and International SOS, who will pre-authorise the consultation and any additional tests to a set value. Please check the policy of your private insurance provider before making your appointment.
