Your First Private GP Visit: Here’s What to Expect

Your Health. Your Way.

Private GP appointments are growing in popularity – and it’s easy to see why. From same-day availability to longer, more focused consultations, private care gives you more time, more choice, and more control.

If you’re thinking about booking your first private GP visit, but not sure what to expect – don’t worry. This guide walks you through everything: before, during and after your appointment at OneMedicine.

Why Go Private?

Private GP services are ideal if you want to:
✔ Avoid long NHS waiting times, no phone holding..
✔ Spend more unrushed time with your doctor
✔ Access services like weight loss or hayfever injections
✔ Get support for Heart Health Checks, Memory concerns, or Travel medicals
✔ Choose flexible options like evening appointments or home visits

With OneMedicine, you’ll get fast, personal care from experienced GPs – no rushing, no pressure.

What to Expect at Your First Visit

When You Arrive

Our team will greet you at reception and check you in. Your GP will then welcome you to a private consultation room.

Appointments last as long as you require (or longer if needed) – giving you time to talk through everything properly.

During the Consultation

This is your time. Your GP will:
✔ Listen carefully
✔ Review your health history and medications
✔ Perform checks if needed (like blood pressure or physical exams)
✔ Recommend any tests or next steps

You can discuss anything – from new symptoms and ongoing concerns to mental health, lifestyle, or specific services like:

  • Health check-ups
  • Sexual health advice
  • Travel vaccines or visa medicals

You’ll leave with clear answers and a plan.

After Your Appointment

You’ll get a written summary by email – and we can share it with your NHS GP if you like.

Your doctor may also:
✔ Prescribe medication
✔ Suggest lifestyle advice
✔ Arrange follow-up care or blood tests
✔ Refer you to a specialist if needed

Have questions after your visit? Just reach out. We’re here to help.

Getting the Most from Your Appointment

To make your visit as useful as possible, we recommend:

  • Writing down your symptoms and how long they’ve been going on

Whether it’s a hayfever injection, full check-up or GP home visit, being prepared helps us help you better.
