What is a private GP?
A private GP is a medical professional that possesses the knowledge needed to assess people’s health. They perform a similar function to a GP you can see through the NHS, except they are more readily available through private clinics. Learn more in our blog about what a private GP does.
Do I need a GP referral to go private?
There is no requirement that stipulates a need to be referred by your normal GP if you want a consultation or treatment with a private consultant. However, the British Medical Association (BMA) advises those who need specialist treatment are referred by their GP. This is because they will have a detailed knowledge and understanding of their medical history and can advise on the referral.
At VIDA Clinics our appointments are designed to ensure guests feel completely reassured that their concerns have been addressed through a dedicated service from our experienced GPs, whether ongoing care is needed or if the issue can be resolved straight away. We strive to always provide the best quality of care from start to finish.
