Private GP Appointment

Yes, if you feel more comfortable bringing a family member or friend to a GP appointment with you then you are more than welcome to.

Appointments with GPs are not usually covered by insurance companies. If, however, you are referred to a consultant or have a procedure done at Pall Mall Medical then the majority of these will be covered by insurance companies. We would advise you to check your policy or ask your broker or insurance company to be sure of what is covered.

Depending on the kind of testing being carried out you can receive your results in a matter of hours through to a few days for more extensive tests. You can request how you receive the results and the options are by email, post, by calling us or we can call you. We can also post results to your treating consultant or NHS GP, if requested.

If you have had a GP consultation in the first place, we also offer a free of charge call from our GP to discuss the results should you require this.

Appointments with Pall Mall Medical’s GPs are available in our clinics located in Manchester and Liverpool. To book a GP appointment at Pall Mall Medical contact us on 0161 832 2111 or Book Online

For GP appointments you can pay by cash or by credit or debit card (excluding American Express) on the day of your appointment. We will require a £25 deposit to confirm the appointment itself.

The cost of a private GP appointment is time-only. There will be an additional charge for in-clinic services provided such as blood testing, referrals, letters, prescriptions and scanning, if needed.

Yes - please let us know that you need to cancel your appointment at least 48 hours before, so we can offer the time slot to someone else. Read our cancellation policy for more details.

There is no formal registration process to go through when you visit a GP at Pall Mall Medical. If you are a new patient we will ask you to provide some basic details but it is not the same as registering with an NHS doctor.

Furthermore, you do not de-register with their NHS GP when registering with Pall Mall Medical. We will not let your NHS GP know you have attended Pall Mall Medical unless you specifically ask us to.

Yes, there is no waiting list to see our doctors and in many cases, you can make a same day appointment.

Please note that if you have an urgent medical problem, it may be more appropriate that you visit your nearest A&E department.

No, you can book directly with the consultant of your choice without the need for a referral from a GP. This service is particularly useful if you already have a diagnosis and would like further advice.

Our GPs can provide sick notes for an additional £20 on top of a GP consultation fee. However, it is not guaranteed that our GPs will provide sick notes as it depends on the individual’s situation.

Please note, we can only provide backdated sick notes if you have seen one of our doctors previously for that illness.

Yes, if during an appointment your GP believes you would benefit from further tests or treatments they will arrange this for you. This can often be done in the same appointment, saving you another trip to the clinic. Many results are back within 24 hours.

If you are concerned that your long-term medication is becoming unsuitable then you may wish to have a medication review. It’s advisable that you have your medication reviewed at least once a year to check the medication is still appropriate for your symptoms. During a review with one of our GPs, you can discuss your medication and any side-effects or problems you may be experiencing.

If you are experiencing severe side-effects or any unusual symptoms as a result of taking your medication then it’s vital that you seek medical help immediately.

To book a medication review at Pall Mall Medical contact us and ask for an extended appointment with one of our experienced GPs.

Although pharmacists and nurses can help with routine ailments, in most cases the first port of call when you are feeling unwell should be a General Practitioner.

GPs can give you a full assessment, including looking at your and your family’s medical history, and prescribing suitable medication or treatment if required. In many cases, a GP will be able to offer you a plan of treatment after just one visit but if your ailment is more serious you may be asked to come back for a follow-up appointment or you may be referred for further investigations such as blood tests, X-Ray or an MRI scan for example.

• English

• Arabic

• French

• Italian

• German

• Spanish

• Romanian

• Russian

• Polish

• Cantonese

• Mandarin
