What a private GP appointment costs at The Online GP
A private GP appointment at The Online GP costs £59 by phone, £150 by video and £220 in person at 10 Portman Square. The price is shown before you book.
| Appointment | Price | Best for |
|---|---|---|
| Telephone advice | £59 | A quick question, a prescription renewal, results or a second opinion |
| Online GP video appointment | £150 | Anything that needs to be seen or talked through at length, including skin concerns with photos, referrals, fit notes and medical letters where clinically justified |
| In person, Portman Square | £220 | Acute illness, injuries, infections and problems that need an examination |
What you get for the fee
A standard consultation is 15 minutes, with longer 30-minute appointments for complex problems. Your GP can prescribe where clinically appropriate, arrange referrals and issue letters where justified. These decisions are always made during the consultation. If you need a test, scan or a specialist, you are told the next step and what it costs before anything is booked.
How to choose between phone, video and in person
Choose phone when your question can be answered by talking. Choose video when the GP needs to see something, such as a rash, or you want a longer conversation. Choose in person when you need to be examined. If the format you picked is not the right one, the GP will tell you and advise what to do next.
How private GP prices compare in London
Private GP fees in London vary widely. They depend on appointment length, whether the visit is in person, the clinic address and what is bundled in. Some clinics advertise a low headline price and charge extra for notes, prescriptions or follow-up. When you compare clinics, use the same five questions each time:
- How long do I get with the doctor?
- Is the fee for the appointment alone, or does it include notes, letters and a prescription?
- What happens if I need a blood test, scan or referral, and who sets that price?
- Is there a cancellation fee, and when does it start?
- Can I be seen the same day if it is urgent?
What is not in the consultation fee
The consultation fee pays for the GP's time and assessment. Some things are priced separately, and you should hear the figure before you agree to them:
- Blood tests and other diagnostics. Our blood panels are £495 for a targeted panel and £595 for a full panel.
- Pharmacy costs for any medicine prescribed. Private prescriptions are dispensed by a pharmacy, which sets its own price.
- Scans and specialist appointments, which are provided by other services.
Private GP or your own GP: when each makes sense
For anything life-threatening, call 999. For long-term conditions and repeat prescriptions, your own surgery is usually the right home base. A private GP appointment is useful when you want a longer slot, a faster appointment, a video or phone option outside surgery hours, or a second opinion.
How to prepare so the fee goes further
- Write down your main question and any symptoms, with dates.
- List the medicines you take, including doses.
- Have recent test results or letters to hand.
- For a skin or wound concern, take clear photos in daylight before a video appointment.
- If you want a fit note or letter, say so when you book.
