The Benefits Of Seeing a Private Doctor

It’s easy to neglect our health in favour of our work, social life, and daily responsibilities, but when your health fails, so does everything else. Our Chelsea medical clinic promotes lifestyle medicine, a branch of medicine focused on preventive healthcare, dealing with prevention, research, education, and treatment of disorders caused by lifestyle factors.

Regular health checkups and blood tests are essential, yet most people don’t do this until they are already sick. Making your health a priority will improve your quality of life and well-being. Instead of waiting for your health to deteriorate before seeing a Doctor, you can work with one of our private Doctors to optimise your health on an ongoing basis.

Delayed access to healthcare on the NHS is affecting millions of people in the UK. With the NHS waiting times getting longer and longer, many are turning to private healthcare instead.

The length of a doctor’s appointment on the NHS is typically between 7-10 minutes. Private GP’s spend a lot more time with their patients, to get a comprehensive medical done, and to go through all their patients’ concerns in detail. Our private GP consultations start at 30 minutes, but you can also book 1 hour.

Our GP’s can also make expedited specialist referrals, write sick notes, prescribe, assess, treat, and diagnose you. Ultimately it depends on the patient whether or not paying for a private GP is worth it.
