Why People Choose a Private GP Over Waiting for the NHS
The NHS is an extraordinary institution, and we respect the work NHS GPs do under immense pressure. But the reality of accessing NHS primary care in London in 2026 means many people simply cannot get an appointment when they need one. The average wait for an NHS GP appointment now frequently extends beyond two weeks for routine concerns. The standard consultation lasts approximately 9.6 minutes. Seeing the same doctor consistently is rarely possible. Navigating the system — from the 8am phone scramble to telephone triage to eventual appointment — can be frustrating, time-consuming, and stressful, particularly when you are already unwell. A private GP solves these problems directly. At The Online GP by The Wellness, you can be seen the same day you contact us. Your appointment is unhurried — our doctors take the time needed to thoroughly assess your concerns, not the time allocated by a stretched system. You see a GMC-registered doctor every time. And the process is simple: WhatsApp us, book, attend. No phone queues at 8am, no triage callbacks, no being told to try again tomorrow. This is not about replacing the NHS. It is about having an option when you need a doctor today and the NHS cannot offer that.
What We Can Help With — Today
Our GMC-registered doctors provide the full breadth of general practice care. If you would see an NHS GP about it, you can see us about it — usually the same day. Acute illness and infections — sore throat, chest infection, urinary tract infection, ear infection, skin infections, stomach bugs, flu-like symptoms. If you need antibiotics, our doctors can prescribe them during your consultation with no additional charge for the prescription. Ongoing health conditions — diabetes management, blood pressure monitoring, thyroid disorders, asthma reviews, medication adjustments. If you have a chronic condition that needs attention and cannot wait for an NHS appointment, we can step in. Mental health — anxiety, depression, stress, sleep difficulties, low mood. Our doctors provide compassionate, thorough assessments and can prescribe medication, provide advice, or refer to a specialist as appropriate. Longer appointment times mean you are never rushed through a conversation that matters. Prescriptions — new prescriptions, repeat prescriptions, medication reviews. If you have run out of a regular medication and your NHS GP cannot see you quickly enough, we can review your history and issue a private prescription the same day. No additional charge for prescription writing. Diagnostic tests— blood tests, urine tests, swabs, and on-site ultrasound scanning (from £175 with same-day results interpreted by a doctor). Many concerns that would require weeks of NHS referral, waiting, and follow-up can be investigated and answered in a single visit with us. Vaccinations — travel vaccines, meningitis (MenACWY available; MenB on waiting list), HPV, flu, and childhood catch-ups. Our doctors assess your needs and administer vaccines on the spot. Referrals — if your doctor identifies something that needs specialist input, we provide referral letters directly. Many patients use us specifically because the NHS referral pathway is too slow for their concern. Medical certificates, sick notes, and documentation — fitness-to-work certificates, medical letters for employers or universities, insurance medical reports, and visa health clearance.
Three Ways to See a Doctor at The Online GP by The Wellness
Phone consultation (from £49): Speak to a GMC-registered doctor by phone. Ideal for straightforward concerns, prescription renewals, follow-ups, and medical advice. No need to travel. Can often be arranged within hours of contact.In-person appointment (from £79): See a doctor face to face at our Marylebone clinic in central London. Essential for physical examinations, diagnostic tests, vaccinations, and any concern where hands-on assessment is needed. Same-day availability most days. Video consultation (from £150): A face-to-face consultation via secure video link. Combines the personal interaction of an in-person appointment with the convenience of not travelling. Ideal for patients outside London, those with mobility limitations, or anyone who prefers remote access. All three formats are with GMC-registered doctors. All include prescription writing at no extra cost. All can be booked the same day.
For International Visitors, Students, and Expats
If you are in London from overseas and need to see a doctor, the NHS system can feel impenetrable. Registration takes time, appointments are overbooked, and the process assumes you have a UK address and NHS number. The Online GP by The Wellness removes every one of these barriers. You do not need an NHS number, a UK address, proof of residency, or a visa. You simply contact us and book. We see patients of all nationalities, every day, with no questions about immigration status or insurance. Our doctors speak multiple languages. Our Marylebone clinic is centrally located near Baker Street station, easily accessible from anywhere in London. We can provide medical documentation in English for any purpose — university enrolment, visa applications, employer health clearance, insurance claims. Whether you are a tourist who has fallen ill, an international student with a health concern, a business visitor who needs a prescription, or an expat who has not yet registered with the NHS — we are here for you, today.

On-Site Diagnostics: Answers the Same Day
One of the most frustrating aspects of NHS primary care is the diagnostic pathway. Your GP suspects something, refers you for a blood test or scan, you wait for the appointment, attend, wait for results, then wait for another GP appointment to discuss them. The process can take weeks. At The Online GP by The Wellness, we compress this into a single visit. Our Marylebone clinic offers on-site blood testing with results typically available within 24–48 hours (some panels faster), interpreted and explained by a doctor. On-site ultrasound scanning from £175, with same-day results interpreted by a qualified doctor — covering abdominal, pelvic, renal, thyroid, musculoskeletal, and obstetric imaging. Our Executive Body Scan at £695 provides a comprehensive top-to-toe health assessment in one appointment. This means you can walk in with a concern, see a doctor, have the relevant test, and leave with answers — often within a single morning. That is the value of integrated, doctor-led private healthcare.

When to See a Private GP vs When to Go to A&E
A private GP appointment is appropriate for most non-emergency health concerns — from infections and chronic conditions to mental health, prescriptions, and diagnostic testing. It is not appropriate for medical emergencies. Go to A&E or call 999 if you have chest pain or pressure, difficulty breathing, signs of stroke (face drooping, arm weakness, speech difficulty), suspected meningitis (fever, stiff neck, non-blanching rash), severe bleeding that will not stop, loss of consciousness, serious injury, severe allergic reaction (anaphylaxis), or any condition you believe is immediately life-threatening. See a private GP if you have a non-emergency health concern that needs attention today, you cannot get an NHS GP appointment quickly enough, you need a prescription and cannot wait, you want a longer, more thorough consultation, you need a blood test, ultrasound, or health screening, you are an international visitor without NHS access, or you want a second opinion on a health concern. If you are unsure which is appropriate, contact us on WhatsApp and we can advise.
