The NHS acts as a highly effective safety net for acute illnesses. It's continuing success in this area is largely due to the dedication of NHS staff who work in a system which most authorities now accept is seriously under funded when compared with Britain's European partners.

Almost all patients in the UK will need to be registered with an NHS GP to obtain NHS General Practice services.

Limited NHS funding has, however, created rationing in the NHS. NICE (The National Institute of Clinical Excellence) has recently recommended that Relenza, the new treatment for Flu, should not currently be prescribed at NHS expense. Viagra is an example of another treatment which is only available to a very limited number of patients, at NHS expense, and then only at a frequency of one tablet per week (see Publications on this site).

This service cannot issue prescriptions for controlled drugs or drugs of addiction - these areas must continue to be dealt with by the NHS. This service also does not undertake any surgical procedures.

This service does offer :-

• Consultation with a GP which last for approximately 20 minutes.

• Private prescriptions for some treatments difficult to obtain from the NHS.

• Confidentiality - our records remain confidential at all times.

• High quality premises.

• An ethical service.

Costs

• The cost of medical consultations is £30 for a 20 minute consultation. Short follow- up appointments are simply charged at £10.

• There are no standing charges or ongoing costs. This is simply a pay-per-use service.

• It is anticipated that this website itself will eventually contain information which will answer some patient's health questions and concerns.

• Repeat prescriptions, for patients who have registered, are available by post, fax or via this website (once authorised by our medical practitioner) at a cost of £10 for 4 repeat prescriptions.
