How much does a private GP cost?

Private GP consultations at our Whitechapel clinic are £140 in person, or £70 by phone — both with an experienced, GMC-registered doctor. Transparent pricing and no hidden costs; full pricing for every service — including blood tests, ultrasound, ADHD assessments and specialist consultations — is listed on our fees page.

Do I need a GP referral?

No referral needed for most appointments — you can book directly with a private GP, ultrasound, blood tests or many of our specialist services. A small number of consultant clinics prefer a referral letter, which our GPs can issue same-day if needed.

Most private GP appointments are available the same day, including evenings and weekends. We're open Monday to Saturday 9am–7pm at our Whitechapel clinic, serving patients across East London, the City of London, Aldgate and Liverpool Street.

Do you accept private medical insurance?

Many appointments are self-pay with an itemised invoice you can submit to Bupa, AXA, Vitality, Aviva or Cigna for reimbursement where applicable. Please contact our reception team to confirm your specific insurance arrangement before booking.

In detail

The Barbados visa medical — what to expect

A Barbados visa medical is most often required for a work permit or long-stay application. The Immigration Department and your employer typically ask for a medical certificate confirming fitness, and screening that frequently includes an HIV test and sometimes a chest X-ray, depending on the permit category and the form issued to you.

About the route. Barbados work permits are arranged through your employer and the Immigration Department, with the medical as part of the supporting evidence. The exact tests are set by the form you're given, not by us. We complete that form from your examination and the tests it specifies — send it to us first so we can confirm what's required and the price.

Who typically needs one

Applicants for work permits or employment visas
Those applying for residency or long-stay / family visas
Students on longer courses, where required
Certain regulated or safety-critical occupations
Anyone whose employer, sponsor or authority has issued a medical form

Common reasons a medical is requested

To screen for specific communicable diseases named on the form
As a standard condition of a work or residence permit
To confirm general fitness for the role or stay
To complete an official form the authority requires
Because the visa category specifies it

Documentation to bring

Your passport, and any current or prior visa documents
The medical form or written requirements from the embassy, employer or authority
Passport-style photographs, if your form asks for them
A list of current medications, allergies and relevant medical history
Vaccination or immunisation records, if requested
Any reference or application number linked to your visa

What happens during the appointment

Check-in and confirmation of your identity and documents
A review of your medical history with the doctor
A physical examination appropriate to your form
Height, weight, blood pressure and general observations
Any blood tests or imaging your form specifies — only those it requires
Completion of the relevant sections of your form

What happens after your appointment. Any samples are processed at an accredited UK laboratory and your Barbados form is completed once the required results are back. In most cases you or the Barbados Immigration Department and your employer submit the completed medical to the authority — we complete the assessment to your form and are not a visa or immigration advisory service, so we do not lodge the application on your behalf.

Typical turnaround. The examination for your Barbados visa medical is usually completed in a single visit, and the finished form follows once the required blood tests are back — often a few working days, depending on which tests are specified. If you have a submission deadline, tell us when you send your form and we'll advise what is realistic.
