GP-led assessment · specialist referral where needed
Not sure which specialist you need?
You don’t have to work that out first. Book a private doctor assessment at Tower Bridge Hospital and one of our experienced doctors will take a full history, examine you, and — depending on your symptoms and clinical assessment — arrange appropriate initial investigations where they’re indicated. We then either manage the problem within primary care or arrange onward referral to the right specialist. Many tests can be done on-site: bloods, ultrasound, ECG, and heart-rhythm (Holter) and 24-hour blood-pressure monitoring, with clear results and a plan.

Common questions
Still have a question? Our team can help you choose the right appointment.
What is spirometry?
A simple breathing test that measures how well your lungs work — key to diagnosing asthma and COPD.
Can you diagnose asthma or COPD?
Yes — with history, examination and spirometry, and we start treatment and refer complex cases.
Can you check my inhaler technique?
Yes — poor technique is a common reason inhalers don’t work.
Will I need a chest scan?
Only when clinically indicated — we arrange it and refer where needed.
Will I see a GP or a consultant?
This clinic is GP-led: you are assessed by one of our GMC-registered doctors, who arranges tests where they are indicated and refers you on to the right specialist when that is the best next step.
Do I need a GP referral?
No. You can book directly with us. If you have a referral letter or previous results, bring them along — they help us avoid repeating tests.
How quickly can I be seen?
Appointments are often available within days, and we are open 7 days a week, 9am–7pm. Call 020 7916 0029 if your symptoms are worrying you and we will look for the earliest slot.
How much will tests cost?
Consultation fees are published on our price list. Any test, scan or treatment is explained and priced before you go ahead, so there are no surprises.
