Here are some of the most frequently asked questions about our GP service.
Can your GPs issue prescriptions?
Yes, our GPs can issue prescriptions via our pharmacy partner Signature Rx. Your medication can be delivered to you or issued to a local pharmacy if that is your preference. As these are a private prescription, Signature Rx determines the cost of this and will notify you of the charge before you redeem the prescription. We do not offer repeat prescribing for regular medication and we do not prescribe controlled drugs.
Can your GPs provide referral letters?
Yes, we can provide referral letters that can be used to book appointments with other private providers. You can either take the letter straight to the provider to book your appointment or, if you have private insurance, show the letter to your insurer.
Will you let my NHS GP know about our appointment?
Yes, we usually advise that you allow us to send a summary of our discussion to your NHS GP. To do this we need to have your consent to share the information. If you do not wish us to share this with your NHS GP then you can ask us not to do so.
Can you provide sick notes?
No, we do not provide sick notes.
Can I register with you for ongoing, long term care?
No, currently we do not have capacity to provide regular care for long term conditions.
