Coronavirus (COVID-19) information for patients and visitors
We do not offer Covid-19 testing as part of our private GP service.
We’ll be postponing some of our services in line with new clinical guidance. This will affect patients over the age of 70, those affected by an underlying health condition, pregnant, or anyone else who is offered a flu jab by the NHS.
Please do not book or attend an appointment if you have coronavirus symptoms - a high temperature, a new, continuous cough or a loss or change to your sense of smell or taste and follow the current government advice about staying at home. Please read the latest coronavirus (COVID-19) information.
Virtual consultation appointments with a private GP
You will be offered a video appointment as most consultations are taking place as virtual appointments.
You'll be asked to list your symptoms as part of your booking and you will receive a call from us to discuss these before your appointment. If you need tests following your virtual consultation you might need to attend the hospital and you will be screened upon arrival.
