Private GP appointments
Private doctor appointments: face to face or remote
Pay as you go Bupa GP services for anything you need
Our private GP services are here for whatever is worrying you. You don’t need health insurance to book and our GP appointment costs are always upfront.
We offer face-to-face or remote GP appointments. We recommend a 30- or 45-minute appointment for your first one, or if there is more than one thing you'd like to discuss. We also have 15-minute slots for repeat appointments or one minor concern.
If you need prompt advice, you can often see a GP on the same day or the very next day.
If you have a medical emergency, please don't wait for a GP appointment with us even later in the day. Call 999 or go straight to A&E.
A medical emergency includes things like:
- chest pain
- severe or sudden breathing difficulties
- suspected stroke or seizure
- bleeding heavily
