FAQS - For Patients

Absolutely. You can access a range of pathology and radiology tests through our service:

  • Pathology Tests: After a consultation, our GP will issue a pathology request form, which you’ll receive via email. To book your test, simply call the number of our pathology provider partner listed on the form. Our partner centers are located across the UK. You can choose to receive the results directly at no extra cost or discuss them during a follow-up consultation with one of our GPs.
  • Radiology Requests: For radiology services like scans, our GP will provide you with a request form that you can take to any private radiology provider. The results will be sent back to us and can be reviewed in a subsequent consultation with your GP.

Please note that while we negotiate the best possible rates, the pathology and radiology providers will charge separately for their services.

Once your test results are available, we will notify you to schedule a follow-up consultation for a detailed discussion. Alternatively, if you prefer, we can send the results directly to you at no extra charge, or to your GP, provided you give your consent.

Yes, we can refer you to both private specialists and NHS specialist services. However, it’s important to note that the acceptance of referrals to NHS services can depend on the local NHS trust policies and the specific service requirements. Some specialist services may have specific referral criteria that must be met. While we do our best to facilitate these referrals, there can be limitations based on NHS guidelines and capacities. If your referral is time-sensitive or requires specific expertise, considering a private specialist might be advantageous. For any further assistance or to discuss your particular needs, please don’t hesitate to contact us.

We understand that you may have specific expectations about the medications you request. Our GPs are committed to ensuring that any prescription provided is in your best interest and clinically appropriate for your condition, adhering to evidence-based guidelines. We follow the General Medical Council’s (GMC) Guidelines for Good Prescribing in Primary Care, which prioritise your health and safety. If there is a safer or more effective alternative, or if a prescription isn’t necessary, our GPs will discuss these options with you to ensure that you receive the most appropriate care.

We understand how important these documents can be for your work and travel plans. Our GPs can issue a range of documents, including Sick/Fit notes and Fit to Fly certificates, following a comprehensive assessment of your medical condition and needs. We are here to help ensure you have the necessary documentation to support your health and lifestyle requirements.
