Minor illness & injuries, sorted today.

Coughs, sore throats, urine infections, rashes, sprains and small cuts don’t need A&E — but they shouldn’t wait weeks either. Walk in or book the same day and be seen properly by a GP.

Not for emergencies. For anything serious or life-threatening — chest pain, breathing difficulty, stroke symptoms or heavy bleeding — call 999 or go to A&E. For urgent advice any time, NHS 111 is available 24/7.

How it works

In, assessed, and on your way

  1. Walk in, or book the same day for a guaranteed time.
  2. A GP examines you and makes a diagnosis.
  3. Treatment, dressing, prescription or referral — as needed.
  4. A clear plan and safety-netting advice before you leave.

When it’s more than minor

We’ll direct you safely

Some injuries need A&E or an X-ray

Suspected fractures, deep or heavily bleeding wounds, and head injuries need emergency or imaging services. We’ll assess you and direct you to the right place — including arranging an X-ray or A&E when needed.

Good to know

Safe, joined-up care

Every appointment is with a GMC-registered doctor

You’re seen at our CQC-registered Whitechapel clinic by a GMC-registered doctor. We keep clear, confidential records and, with your consent, send a summary to your NHS GP so your care stays joined up.

You don’t need to be registered with us, and a private appointment doesn’t replace being registered with an NHS GP. A chaperone is available for any examination on request, at no charge. We prescribe responsibly, in line with GMC guidance and antimicrobial stewardship.

What we don’t do here

  • We are not an emergency service. For anything serious or life-threatening — chest pain, difficulty breathing, stroke symptoms, heavy bleeding, a collapse — call 999 or go to A&E. For urgent-but-not-emergency advice, NHS 111 is available 24/7. The Royal London Hospital A&E is about 5 minutes’ walk away.
  • We are an outpatient clinic and do not provide hospital admission or inpatient care.
  • A private GP appointment complements, but does not replace, being registered with an NHS GP.
  • We only issue controlled medication after a proper assessment and appropriate checks — not on demand, and with shared care where relevant.

Being clear about our limits keeps you safe. For emergencies use 999 or A&E; for urgent advice, NHS 111.

Fees

Clear, up-front pricing

Consultation and assessment fees are set out on our price list, and any tests or treatments are explained and priced clearly before you go ahead — no surprises. Some services are priced on enquiry; just ask the clinic team.

Common questions

Do I need an appointment?

Walk-ins are welcome; booking a slot guarantees a time.

Can you stitch or glue a cut?

Small wounds, yes — deep or complex ones we’ll assess and direct to A&E.

Can you treat a UTI today?

Yes — usually assessed and treated in the same visit.

What about a possible broken bone?

We’ll assess it and arrange an X-ray or A&E as appropriate.
