There are many advantages to seeing a Private GP at The Heriot Clinic. We asked our clients what benefits they have experienced from our services.
Fast Access To Appointments
Fast access to appointments is one of the principle benefits of Private GP. In an era of long waiting times for public services, it is particularly advantageous. Our clients find it reassuring to know that they can access our clinic when they need to.
Easy Online Booking
Online Booking is a very convenient facility. Our appointment system is available around the clock and our clients value the opportunity to book their appointments directly online.
Get More Time During Your Consult
A great benefit of Private GP is more time. Our clients can determine the length of their appointments, and the frequency with which they see us. From 20 minutes to 1 hour, we also offer telephone and clinic appointments as well as home visits.
Continuity of Care
If you were designing a perfect primary care system, at the heart of it would be continuity of care. Our clients know that they will always see the same doctor when they visit.
Personalised, Holistic Care
A great benefit of Private GP is the opportunity that it provides to deliver personalised care. Our clients value being seen and understood as individuals. Their concerns and conditions being considered in the wider context of their lives.
Proactive Care, Health Screening
The time and access afforded by private general practice allows us to take a proactive approach to our clients health. Whether that is a quick blood pressure check whilst you visit for another matter, or, a more in depth health screening appointment.
Confidentiality
Our clients know that conversations with us are confidential. We will only share your information with your NHS provider with your specific permission. This discretion is a cornerstone of a therapeutic relationship at The Heriot Clinic.
