Why Londoners Are Choosing Private GP Services in 2026
The pressures on NHS general practice in the UK have been well documented. Waiting times for routine GP appointments now frequently extend to two or three weeks. The average NHS GP consultation lasts approximately 9.6 minutes. Many patients report difficulty seeing the same doctor consistently, and navigating the system — from initial phone triage to securing a face-to-face appointment — can be frustrating, time-consuming, and stressful.
Private GP services exist to solve these problems directly. At The Online GP by The Wellness, you can see a doctor the same day you contact us. Appointments are unhurried — your doctor will take the time needed to thoroughly address your concerns. You can choose the format that suits you best (phone, video, or in-person). And you will always be seen by a qualified, GMC-registered doctor — not a nurse practitioner or physician associate.
This is not about replacing the NHS. The NHS provides an essential safety net for the entire population, and we respect that role deeply. Private GP services complement the NHS by providing faster access for those who need it, more time per consultation, and additional services (such as on-site diagnostics) that most NHS practices simply cannot offer.
Our Services at a Glance
GP consultations: Phone (from £49), in-person at our Marylebone clinic (from £79), or video (from £150). Same-day appointments available if you contact us before midday.
Private prescriptions: Our doctors can prescribe any clinically appropriate medication, from antibiotics and antimalarials to repeat prescriptions and specialist treatments. Prescriptions can be collected at any UK pharmacy.
Vaccinations: A comprehensive range of travel vaccines (hepatitis A/B, typhoid, rabies, Japanese encephalitis, yellow fever, cholera, tick-borne encephalitis, meningitis ACWY) and general vaccines (HPV, flu, pneumococcal, shingles, childhood catch-ups). Meningitis B is currently on a waiting list due to the national shortage — contact us to register your interest.
Blood testing and health screening: From targeted panels (thyroid function, vitamin levels, sexual health) to comprehensive profiles covering dozens of markers. Fast results with doctor interpretation.
Ultrasound scans: Available from £175, with same-day results interpreted by qualified doctors. We offer abdominal, pelvic, renal, thyroid, musculoskeletal, and obstetric ultrasound.
Executive Body Scan: Our most comprehensive health assessment at £695, covering a thorough top-to-toe evaluation including blood work, ultrasound, and a detailed doctor consultation.
Specialist referrals: If your doctor identifies a concern that requires specialist input, we can provide a referral letter to a consultant of your choice — often faster than the NHS referral pathway.

For International Visitors, Expats, and Overseas Students
London is one of the world's most international cities, welcoming millions of visitors, students, and workers from every corner of the globe each year. If you are in London from overseas, navigating the UK healthcare system can be bewildering — and accessing an NHS GP typically requires registration with a local practice, proof of address, and a waiting period that makes it impractical for short-term visitors.
The Online GP by The Wellness removes all of these barriers. You do not need an NHS number. You do not need a UK address. You do not need proof of residency or a visa. You simply contact us, book an appointment, and see a qualified doctor.
Our services for international patients include same-day GP consultations in a private, comfortable clinical environment, prescriptions for any medication you need during your time in the UK, vaccination reviews to ensure your immunisations are up to date for the UK and onward travel, blood tests and health checks, specialist referral letters, travel health advice and vaccinations for your next destination, medical certificates and documentation (for university enrolment, visa applications, employer requirements), and ongoing care for chronic conditions during an extended stay.
We understand that being unwell in a foreign country is particularly stressful. Our team provides clear, compassionate medical care with none of the bureaucracy that can make the NHS difficult for non-residents to access.

Vaccinations in the Wake of the Kent Meningitis Outbreak
The March 2026 meningitis outbreak in Kent has prompted many people across the UK to re-evaluate their vaccination status — and rightly so. While the immediate outbreak is concentrated in Canterbury, it has highlighted broader gaps in vaccine coverage that affect millions of people.
If the outbreak has prompted you to think about your own or your family's vaccination status, here are the key actions to consider.
Check meningitis B coverage. If you or your children were born before 2015, you are almost certainly unvaccinated against MenB. We are operating a waiting list for this vaccine — register your interest now, and we will contact you as soon as stock is available.
Ensure MenACWY is up to date. This vaccine is free on the NHS for teenagers and anyone up to age 25 entering university. If you missed it, private vaccination is available at our clinic.
Review your broader vaccination history. Many adults have gaps in their vaccination coverage without realising it. Common missed vaccines include MMR (especially if you were born before 1990 and only received one dose), hepatitis B (not routinely offered on the NHS until recently), HPV (only added to the school programme in 2008 for girls, 2019 for boys), and pneumococcal and shingles vaccines (for older adults).
Consider travel vaccinations. If you have upcoming travel plans, a pre-travel health consultation ensures you are protected against destination-specific diseases. Many travel vaccines require multiple doses over several weeks, so early planning is essential.
Our doctors can review your complete vaccination history, identify any gaps, and create a personalised catch-up plan.

What Makes The Online GP by The Wellness Different
In a city with hundreds of private GP services, we believe several things set us apart.
Genuinely doctor-led. Every consultation, every vaccination, every clinical decision is made by a GMC-registered doctor. We do not use nurse practitioners for initial consultations or delegate clinical decisions. When you see us, you see a doctor.
Comprehensive on-site diagnostics. Unlike most private GP services that refer you elsewhere for blood tests or scans, we offer blood testing and ultrasound at the same location. This means you can often receive a consultation, undergo a diagnostic test, and get results in a single visit — saving you time and eliminating the need for multiple appointments at different locations.
Transparent pricing. Our prices are clearly published and do not change based on demand. Phone consultations from £49, in-person from £79, video from £150. Individual ultrasound scans from £175. Executive Body Scan at £695. No hidden fees, no surprises.
Central London location. Our Marylebone clinic is easily accessible from across London, with excellent transport links. We are also accessible by video and phone for patients who cannot attend in person.
No registration barriers. No NHS number needed. No proof of address. No waiting for registration. No forms to fill in. Simply contact us and book. This is healthcare that works around your life, not the other way around.
