Regent Street Clinic has been providing private
GP services since 1998. Our team of private GPs
and nurses includes both male and female
clinicians who understand that when it comes to
your health, there are times when you just need
to address your health concern or worry as soon
as possible and without delay. Our private GPs
offer appointments at a time to suit you. We are
open six days per week and will always
accommodate a same-day appointment request, just
call and book. We look forward to meeting you
and helping you whatever the medical issue.

Our core values include Quality Openness Honesty
Integrity Candour Respect Patient-centredness You
r Well-being Is Our Business. Attending for your
appointment Try and attend around 15 minutes
prior to the appointment time, to allow some time
to complete the new patient health questionnaire
and registration forms. Our clinics are
centrally located with excellent road and rail
links.

The appointment times may run over due to
emergencies that arise occasionally, so you
should allow enough time for metered parking to
accommodate this. We recommend paying for an
hours worth of parking if using on-street
meters. Appointment times are not restricted and
the doctor will spend as long as is necessary to
take a thorough medical history and to perform a
clinical examination where necessary. Chaperones
will be available for sensitive examinations and
you are welcome to attend with as many friends or
relatives as you wish. You can discuss as many
medical issues as you feel necessary that are
causing you concern. The doctor will be fully
attentive and will be trying to help identify the
best care pathway to optimise your clinical care,
whether that involves reassurance only, some
investigations or a referral to a private
specialist consultant.

clinic today will be a positive one. Regent
Street Clinic has been at the forefront of
private healthcare provision across the UK for
the past two decades, and in that time we have
witnessed, and been part of, the surge in demand
for private medical services by those wanting a
high quality, same day service a service not
restricted by cost, personnel or time. Our great
strength stems from the range and breadth of
medical services that our medical clinicians are
able to cater for, having continued specialist
post-graduate training in a number of different
disciplines throughout their career to optimise
the provision of quality care to cover General
Practice, Travel Medicine, Sexual Health, Medical
Aesthetics and Occupational Health.

Paying for your treatment The GP consultation
fee is 95. Additional services such as blood
tests and scans will be supplementary and the
costs of these to the laboratory or local private
hospital will be discussed during the
consultation. Payment is due at the end of the
consultation with the health professional and on
the same day as being seen. The costs of any
additional tests or investigations will be
discussed fully during the consultation.

Private health insurance is unlikely to cover the
cost of a private GP consultation in the UK, with
the exception of BUPA International and
International SOS, who will pre-authorise the
consultation and any additional tests to a set
value. Please check the policy of your private
insurance provider before making your
appointment. As a rule, Regent Street Clinic
does not liaise with insurance providers and our
fees are due on the day of treatment. If you do
have private health insurance then you will be
expected to claim back the costs of your medical
care having been furnished with an invoiced
receipt from us, itemising the services you have
received. Payments can be made using cash, debit
cards, credit cards, BACS transfer or PayPal.

Imaging results such as X-ray/MRI/CT/Ultrasound
can take up to 5 days as we are dependent upon
them being reported by the consultants at the
local private hospitals. All results are conveyed
to you and discussed with you by the requesting
doctor. You are encouraged to have access to
your results so that a shared care management
plan can be implemented. All results can be
forwarded to you by e-mail, fax or hard copy.
Hardware such as compact discs and x-ray films
are your possessions and will be sent to you or
they can be collected by you in person from the
clinic.

The doctor will discuss whether any further
follow-up is necessary and will make arrangements
by way of a further face to face consultation, a
telephone consultation or a referral to a
hospital consultant. You will be made fully
aware of the care pathway recommended and whether
this is going to be best accessed through the
private sector or the NHS route, dependent upon a
number of factors, not least the most financially
acceptable model for each patient. A report will
be issued highlighting the significant clinical
findings, which can be discussed with other
healthcare professionals if needed.
