Aftercare Blood results are typically available
the following working day. Urine results usually
take 2-3 working days. We allow approximately
2-3 days for result turnaround for attendees over
the weekend who have had blood and/or urine
tests. However, once the results are received we
will give you a call. Booking Your
Appointment Once you have decided that you would
like to see a private doctor or nurse, you can
book online or simply call our central booking
office on 0333 455 9070 and request an
appointment to attend on a day and at a time to

Which clinic you would like to attend 
Nottingham, Sheffield or Leicester. When you
would like to attend  day and time. The nature
of your query. Your name and contact details. It
is not mandatory for these details to be
disclosed if confidentiality and discretion are
an issue. However, it is preferable to give us
correct details whenever possible with a method
of contacting you should the need arise (usually
mobile telephone number or e-mail address). Your
attendance at our clinic will not be disclosed to
any third party without your consent, including
to your NHS General Practitioner (GP).

Our clinical team will, however, respectfully
discuss the benefits of sharing any significant
findings with your NHS GP as highlighted in Good
Medical Practice and the recommendations of the
General Medical Council (GMC), however, this will
be dependent upon a two-way discussion and we
will always respect each patients
view. 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. We hope and expect that
your experience at our 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. Our Care
Quality Commission (CQC) registered clinics
currently see around 20,000 patients per annum,
placing us amongst the busiest private medical
clinics in the UK.

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.

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.
