Online GP Consultations – Phone & Video Appointments
Same-Day Appointments 9am-9pm, 7 days a week
Our online GP consultations allow you to connect with a medical expert at any time convenient for you. With our service, you can schedule a phone or video appointment with one of our GPs on the same day to discuss any health concerns you may have.
This means you can easily discuss any health concerns without the hassle of travelling or waiting in a queue. With a range of available time slots to choose from, our online booking system gives you the flexibility to fit your appointment into your own schedule, all from the comfort of your home.
Get a private prescription
We don’t charge extra fees for prescriptions. They are sent electronically and can be collected from your local pharmacy after the consultation.
Get a sick note
Following assessment, if you are unfit to work, your GP will provide you with a sick note (fit note) for no additional cost. We also provide fit to work & recovery letters.
Referrals to a Specialist
In some cases, you may need a specialist opinion for your next stage of treatment or testing. Our private GPs can refer you to a relevant specialist.
Explore medical conditions
Our private GPs will listen to you carefully and compassionately and provide medical advice and support to get you back to feeling yourself.

You can schedule an online appointment with our GP at a time that suits your schedule. Video appointments are conducted through a secure video link, which you will receive via email upon booking, before your scheduled time.
Rest assured that we maintain the same level of confidentiality with your medical information provided online as we would during a clinic appointment. We do not disclose or discuss any medical information with anyone, including your NHS GP, without your consent, except in cases where there is a potential risk to your safety or the safety of others.
During the telephone or video consultation, the GP will conduct a medical history check and may request to see the affected area (if deemed appropriate). However, please note that intimate areas will not be examined during the video consultation. Based on the information provided, the GP can provide advice or prescribe medication as necessary. If the issue cannot be resolved online, the GP may recommend a face-to-face appointment or suggest additional tests to be performed at a Private Medical Clinic or one close to your location.
During the consultation if the GP issues you with a prescription the GP will be able to email over the private prescription which you can take to any pharmacy. We use a prescription provider called SignatureRx who can send paperless, secure and completely compliant prescriptions direct to any pharmacy, anywhere in the UK.
Private Medical Clinic also offers in person consultations at our clinic in Edgbaston, Sutton Coldfield and Mailbox, Birmingham. Our GP consultations take place in a relaxing and private environment. All clinics have parking available on-site and are easily accessible via public transport.
