Your Wellbeing Is Our Business.
Attending for your appointment
Try and attend around 15 minutes prior to the appointment time, to allow some time to complete the new patient health questionnaire and registration forms.
All of our clinics are centrally located with excellent road and rail links. Some clinics have their own private car parks on-site. The Nottingham clinic has metered parking immediately outside the building as well as being immediately adjacent to an NCP car park on Mount Street.
Our appointment times may run over due to emergencies that arise occasionally, so you should allow enough time for metered parking to accomodate this. We recommend paying for an hours worth of parking if using on-street meters.
Appointment times are not restricted and the doctor will spend as long as is necessary to take a thorough medical history and to perform a clinical examination where necessary. Chaperones will be avaiable for sensitive examinations and you are welcome to attend with as many friends or relatives as you wish.
You can discuss as many medical issues as you feel necessary that are causing you concern. The doctor will be fully attentive and will be trying to help identify the best care pathway to optimise your clinical care, whether that involves reassurance only, some investigations or a referral to a private specialist consultant.
Aftercare
Blood results are typically available the following working day. Urine results usually take 2-3 working days.
We allow 2-3 days for result turnaround for attendees over the weekend who have had blood and/or urine tests.
Imaging results such as X-ray/MRI/CT/Ultrasound can take up to 5 days as we are dependent upon them being reported by the consultants at the local private hospitals.
All results are conveyed to you and discussed with you by the requesting doctor.
You are encouraged to have access to your results so that a shared care management plan can be implemented.
All results can be forwarded to you by e-mail, fax or hard copy. Hardware such as compact discs and x-ray films are your possessions and will be sent to you or they can be collected by you in person from the clinic.
The doctor will discuss whether any further follow-up is necessary and will make arrangements by way of a further face to face consultation, a telephone consultation or a referral to a hospital consultant.
You will be made fully aware of the care pathway recommended and whether this is going to be best accessed through the private sector or the NHS route, dependent upon a number of factors, not least the most financially acceptable model for each patient.
A report will be issued highlighting the significant clinical findings, which can be discussed with other healthcare professionals if needed.
Booking Your Appointment
Once you have decided that you would like to see a private doctor or nurse, simply call our central booking office on 0800 583 3331 and request an appointment to attend on a day and at a time to suit you.
You will be asked for the following information:
Which clinic you would like to attend - Nottingham, Derby, Leicester, Sheffield, Leeds or London.
When you would like to attend - day and time.
The nature of your query.
Your name and contact details.
It is not mandatory for these details to be disclosed if confidentiality and discretion are an issue. However it is preferable to give us correct details whenever possible with a method of contacting you should the need arise (usually mobile telephone number or e-mail address).
Your attendance to our clinic will not be disclosed to any third party without your consent, including to your NHS General Practitioner (GP).
Our clinical team will, however, respectfully discuss the benefits of sharing any significant findings with your NHS GP as highlighted in Good Medical Practice and the recommendations of the General Medical Council (GMC), however this will be dependent upon a two-way discussion and we will always respect each patient's view.
