Independent and Flexible
As an independent private GP service, we’re not restricted to a single provider. This means we can refer you to the most suitable and efficient healthcare facilities for your needs. Whether it’s an X-ray, CT scan, or MRI, we can arrange timely imaging to support diagnostic or screening purposes.
Blood Tests and Pathology
We offer an extensive range of blood tests, urine tests, swabs, and other pathology services tailored to your specific health concerns. For absolute accuracy, we use the largest independent laboratory in the country, and you can expect results within 48 to 72 hours, depending on the test. Once your results are ready, we’ll provide a clear, written report and walk you through the findings to ensure you understand what they mean for your health.
In-house Electrocardiograms
Using our state-of-the-art ECG machine, we can assess your heart’s rhythm and electrical activity during your consultation. This quick, painless test requires no preparation, and you’ll receive the results immediately. If any concerns arise, we’ll discuss them with a Consultant Cardiologist to ensure you get the care you need. We can also provide you with a digital or paper copy of your ECG for your personal records.
Blood and Urine Testing
We offer a wide range of blood, urine and swab tests to support your health. From checking vitamin and mineral levels to assessing immunity, nutrition, and general wellbeing - including liver, kidney and infection screening - we’ll help you get the answers you need.
Rapid Result COVID-19 Tests
We’re proud to offer one of the fastest turnarounds for RT-PCR COVID-19 test results in the country, with most results available by midday the following day.This test is widely recognised as the "Gold Standard" for COVID-19 detection, used by international authorities, including the UK Government, for its accuracy and reliability.
