Research from the Independent Healthcare Providers Network found that nearly a third of people had previously used private healthcare, and 88% of those surveyed considered it worthwhile1.
With same-day appointments and flexible scheduling, private GP access means patients can access the care they need without being kept on hold at 8 am or waiting weeks for an appointment.
Whether you’re suffering from a chronic illness which requires ongoing attention or need urgent assistance, our private GPs are ready to give you the best care without delay.
If you’re considering a new way to access the care you need, here are ten things you can book a private GP for in our Sheffield and Leeds clinics.
These days, people realise that mental health is just as important as physical health. That’s why our private GPs expertly assess you and refer you to specialists quickly. Your private GP may adjust medication or recommend new ones where appropriate. With LivingCare, expect sensitive and bespoke advice.
Infections require quick treatment. Without treatment, almost any infection can lead to sepsis – and the UK has 245,000 cases each year2. A private GP can prescribe the correct antibiotics to treat the infection and provide follow-up care to ensure the infection is gone.
Digestive issues can be painful and uncomfortable. They can also signal a more serious problem. With private GP appointments lasting up to 30 minutes, you’ll have the time to explain your symptoms. Our private GPs can promptly arrange further testing and screening to help you get the proper care and treatment. Whether it’s a scan or an allergy test, we can carry it out in-house.
In the UK, more than 5.8 million people are living with diabetes. Every year, diabetes patients should have an annual review to pick up any other health problems caused by diabetes before they become serious. The GP also checks blood glucose, cholesterol levels, and blood pressure. Private GPs can set aside the time to do the thorough tests and checks and fast-track you for further testing if required.
Strokes and heart attacks are linked to high blood pressure, so it’s important to get proper treatment. Whether you have symptoms of hypertension or require medication to manage it, a private GP can prescribe and review medications and monitor your health.
If you have a chronic illness, a doctor should review your medication. The private GP will ensure that you have the correct medication and dosage, allowing you to get the best out of it and stay healthy. After a medication review, you may require further tests to determine if there have been any changes in your condition. A private GP will conduct these tests promptly and use the results to make any necessary adjustments.
Our comprehensive health screenings identify health issues before they become serious. During these appointments, the GP will utilise state-of-the-art testing equipment to obtain accurate results promptly. They’ll discuss cancer screening, coordinate with our scanning services, provide referral appointments, and offer lifestyle advice. Our health screening services and preventative checks provide you with complete peace of mind about your health and wellbeing.
Skin conditions can impact your daily life. Whether you are suffering from psoriasis, acne, or eczema, our private GPs provide you with access to the right specialists and treatments quickly. Professional practitioners also perform minor procedures in-clinic, including the removal of warts and treatment of skin lesions.
Whether you are suffering from chronic pain, a complex medical issue, or a sports injury, our private GPs provide a thorough assessment. They will recommend tailored treatments and advanced technologies to help manage your pain, including PRP injections, radiofrequency treatments, and Endoret PRGF Therapy. If required, the private GP will quickly refer you to further professionals, such as physiotherapists, to help you feel better.
A private GP can perform a blood test and send it off for testing – including TruCheck cancer screening to pick up the early signs of cancer cells in your blood. When the results come back – if a follow-up is needed – you can see the same doctor who knows you and your case. The private GP will arrange referrals, tests, and treatments with our wider team where required.
At your 30-minute appointment, you’ll have the time to discuss your problem and get tailored tests and treatment. With clinics across Sheffield and Leeds, a private GP is ready to see you in person, on the phone, or on a video call to provide the best care and most appropriate treatment.
