Ongoing private GP care provides structured reviews for long-term health concerns, with a clear plan for monitoring, medicines, investigations and referrals when clinically appropriate.
For long-term conditions, the value of a review lies in continuity and a plan that matches your diagnosis, symptoms, medicines and current risk. It is not a substitute for emergency assessment or specialist care where that is needed.
I use a structured history, examination and appropriately targeted investigations to decide what can be managed in general practice, what needs planned specialist input and what requires urgent NHS assessment.

What I can help with
A GP assessment can clarify your concern, review relevant records, arrange appropriate tests or referrals and agree a documented follow-up plan. Availability and suitability are confirmed by the clinic at booking.
A safe next-step plan
The right outcome may be reassurance, treatment, monitoring, targeted investigation, a private specialist referral or a recommendation to use an NHS service. I explain the reasoning and record the agreed next step.
When routine private GP care is not appropriate
Call 999 for severe chest pain, sudden breathing difficulty, stroke-like symptoms, collapse, severe allergic symptoms or another immediate emergency. Use NHS 111 for urgent advice when you are unsure and it is not life-threatening.
Do not wait for a routine appointment if symptoms suggest an emergency or are severe, sudden or rapidly worsening.
