The Wellness in Marylebone offers private GP appointments for international patients, and the reason is practical rather than promotional. Ask us to confirm the appointment requirements for your circumstances. Ask for current appointment availability, by video from £150 for up to 30 minutes. Hotel visits are £495 daytime or £595 evening. Home visits are £450. Enquire for clinic, office and weekend appointment fees. Confirm your preferred language and clinician availability before booking. Ask how records are handled and when information may need to be shared for care or legal reasons. The 3 things international visitors most often need are the 3 things hardest to arrange here without help.
A medication assessment, when a visitor needs advice about obtaining their usual treatment in the UK. A medical assessment or report, whether for insurance, an employer, a visa, a school or a court, which needs a GMC-registered doctor and a document that verifies. And a comprehensive health assessment compressed into the days you are actually in London, which is why executive screening for visitors is planned backwards from your departure date rather than forwards from the booking. Marylebone sits and inside the Harley Street medical district, so the specialist, the imaging centre and the laboratory are all within walking distance. Fees appear further down this page.

Can I see a private doctor in the UK as a visitor
Enquire to confirm the appointment requirements and availability. Ask us what information, identification and clinical records are required before booking. Confirm the booking requirements, fee and any documentation you need before attending.
Ask how your records are held and shared, including consent and any care or legal duties. For patients from the Gulf, Europe, North America and Asia who are protective of what appears where, that matters more than the clinical detail.
Payment is direct, in pounds sterling, by card at the appointment, and company or family office invoicing is arranged where preferred. There is no membership and no joining fee, so a single visit costs a single fee.
The practical limit worth knowing in advance concerns controlled drugs. Strong opioids, benzodiazepines and ADHD stimulants such as methylphenidate and lisdexamfetamine are tightly regulated in the UK, and it is generally not appropriate for any doctor to issue them to a visitor at a first consultation without established records. Ask the clinical team about the appropriate route before booking.
How do I get my medication in London
Send a photograph before you book. The packaging, the blister strip or the pharmacy label showing the drug name and the strength does most of the work, because brand names differ between countries while the generic name and the milligrams do not. A repeat prescription list, a specialist letter or the medication record in your national health app all help.
A clinician reviews your medication and records and assesses whether a UK prescription is appropriate. A prescription is not guaranteed; confirm dispensing and stock with the pharmacy. The clinician will discuss suitable options, which may require further records or specialist review. Confirm medicine availability with the pharmacy.
Pharmacists do have limited discretion to make an emergency supply at a patient's request, and it occasionally solves the problem. Quantities are restricted, most controlled drugs are excluded, and the pharmacist must be satisfied about your previous treatment, which is exactly where overseas visitors run into difficulty because there is no UK record to check. A consultation can help assess the appropriate next steps.
Where a medicine needs monitoring before it continues, such as anticoagulation or thyroid replacement, blood collection is arranged at an accredited partner laboratory a short walk from the clinic. Enquire for the assessment and document fee for any onward travel letter.
Send a photo of your medication on WhatsApp or email team@thewellnesslondon.com.
What medicals, reports and certificates can be issued
Fitness to fly certificates, including MEDIF forms for airlines, for pregnancy, after surgery, with a medical device or after illness. Fitness to travel and fitness to work letters. Insurance medicals and claim documentation, including travel insurance cancellation certificates, where imprecise dates and vague clinical detail are the commonest reasons a claim is refused.
Employment medicals and pre-placement assessments. Visa and immigration medical documentation. School, university and examination board letters, including medical evidence for extenuating circumstances. Driving medicals. Medical reports for legal purposes through the Medico-Legal Wing.
Every document carries the doctor's name, GMC registration number, signature, clinic letterhead and contact details, so an institution that chooses to verify it can. Confirm document requirements, assessment and expected turnaround before booking. What we will not do is write a certificate without an assessment, because a document from a doctor who has not examined you is worthless to whoever receives it.
What executive screening is available in a short visit
The itinerary is built backwards from your departure. An assessment establishes what should be tested, then blood collection is arranged at an accredited partner laboratory and imaging at the London centre holding the right equipment for each question, performed by an experienced sonographer and reported by a consultant radiologist. Where diaries allow, the bloods and the imaging are compressed into a single day so you travel once. A review appointment then goes through everything, in person before you leave or by video after you land home.
Enquire for a tailored executive screening or ongoing-care quote. Confirm the recommended assessment, tests, imaging, review appointments and total fee before booking.
The clinician will discuss appropriate next steps if an investigation finds something requiring follow-up. Specialist opinions are arranged through the Harley Street network alongside us, any further imaging is arranged according to clinical need and availability, and reports are prepared in a form your own doctor can use.

Appointments subject to confirmed availability in Marylebone.
Planning private GP care during a London visit
Because the constraint is your calendar, and everything is arranged around it. Appointments subject to confirmed availability, video appointments subject to clinician availability and location requirements, doctors who will come to your hotel or apartment in the evening, family appointments arranged subject to confirmed availability and a quote, and a WhatsApp line answered by a person before you book so you know what will happen and what it will cost.
Because the whole pathway is coordinated rather than sold in pieces. Bloods at an accredited laboratory, imaging at the specialist centre best equipped for the question with consultant radiologist reporting, specialist opinions arranged through the Harley Street network, and everything consolidated into one record and one review. Nothing is handed back to you as a document to organise in a city you do not live in.
And because you are told what is not possible before you pay for it. A controlled drug that cannot appropriately be prescribed to a visitor at a first consultation, a scan that will not answer your question, a certificate that needs a specialist rather than a GP. That is the difference between a clinic and a booking system, and it is the reason people who come here once contact us before their next trip rather than starting again.

Frequently asked questions
Can I see a private GP in London as a visitor from abroad
Enquire to confirm the appointment requirements for your circumstances, with record-handling arrangements explained before booking. At The Wellness, ask for current appointment availability, by video from £150 for up to 30 minutes or hotel visits at £495 daytime / £595 evening. Enquire for clinic fees and confirm your preferred language before booking.
Can a UK pharmacy dispense my foreign prescription
Requirements depend on where the prescription was issued and the medicine involved. Ask a UK pharmacist to assess your prescription. Pharmacists have limited discretion to make an emergency supply, but quantities are restricted, most controlled drugs are excluded, and verifying previous treatment for an overseas visitor is where it usually fails. A consultation can assess whether a UK prescription is appropriate; prescribing and dispensing are not guaranteed.
Do I need insurance to see a private doctor in the UK
No. Payment is direct, in pounds sterling, with an itemised invoice provided for any claim you make at home. There is no membership and no joining fee, and company or family office invoicing is arranged on request.
Can I have a full health check during a short visit to London
Yes, and it is planned backwards from your departure date. Assessment first, then bloods at an accredited laboratory and imaging at a specialist centre with consultant radiologist reporting, compressed into a single day where diaries allow, with the review in person before you leave or by video afterwards. Enquire for a tailored screening quote.
Will my medical records be shared with anyone
Ask how your records are held and shared, including consent and any care or legal duties. Where you want a report prepared for your own physician, it is written in a form they can use and given to you.
Can you prescribe ADHD medication or strong painkillers to visitors
Generally not at a first consultation. Controlled drugs including ADHD stimulants, strong opioids and benzodiazepines are tightly regulated in the UK and it is not usually appropriate to issue them to a visitor without established records. Ask the clinical team about the appropriate route before booking. ADHD also has a separate pathway directly with specialists.
