Why More People in Birmingham Are Turning to Private GPs
The rapid pace of modern life, makes accessible and reliable healthcare more important than ever. If you’ve experienced long NHS waiting lists or struggled to book timely GP appointments, you’re not alone.
At OneMedicine, many of our patients in Birmingham choose private GP services for fast access, continuity of care, and personalised treatment. But is a private GP right for you?
What Is a Private GP?
A private GP provides medical care outside of the NHS, offering direct access to experienced, GMC-registered doctors, without the wait. At OneMedicine’s Birmingham clinic, our private GPs diagnose, manage, and treat a full range of health concerns, just like an NHS GP, but with more flexibility and speed.
