Private GP · Kent
A doctor who knows you, watching the things that decide how long you stay well.
Fifty adults, no more. I measure what decides your long-term health and act the year it changes. Every test, scan and referral comes to you at cost.
What you're actually buying
When something big happens, I'm in the room.
The cancer diagnosis, your father's stroke, the scan that comes back wrong. I read the scan with you, I'm on the call with the oncologist, and I tell you what I'd do if you were my own family. I come to your house when that is what the situation needs. That's the part you're really insuring against, and the part no one writes down.
The relationship
The family doctor, restored.
Medicine used to be a relationship that lasted: one doctor who knew your history, your family, and what you were like when you were well. That is what I do. I take on fifty adults and their families, and look after them for the long run.
You get a doctor who knows you, your goals, your worries and your risks, who has the time to look properly and whose judgment you can trust. Any test or referral I arrange is one the evidence says you need, ordered because it's right for you, not because I profit from it.
The method
The Long View.
I measure the key things that decide your long-term health, follow which way they move year after year, and act early, while a small change is all it takes to turn them. I test only when the result would change what we do. Almost everything that harms you develops in one of three ways.
The slow build
Heart, metabolism, organs and reserve. They slip for years with no symptom, so the damage is well underway before you feel a thing. Caught early, the trajectory is still easy to turn.
The catchable
Cancers, aneurysms, and the illnesses with a short early window. Found in time, by the right scan, blood test or examination, many are curable or preventable. Found late, far fewer are.
The sudden turn
The crises no schedule predicts: a low spell, a drink problem, a sudden illness. What catches these is not a calendar but a doctor you can reach the day it matters.
What it isn't
No drips. No hype. No gimmicks.
Private health has learned to sell more: more tests, more numbers, another machine every quarter. More is easy to sell. I built this the other way. I carry the advanced diagnostics most GPs don't, and I use them precisely: the tests that tell us something real about you, not the ones that only look impressive. Fewer, sharper tests mean less noise, less worry, and a clear picture of what actually matters for you.
"Personal and holistic. Understanding the whole picture, not a figures-only approach, and listening rather than working to a threshold."
Membership
What it costs.
£400
a month, one adult
or £4,000 a year
£700
a month, a household of two adults
or £7,000 a year
Every child under 18 is included in the household fee.
Every test, scan and referral is passed to you at what it costs me, with nothing added.
You pay the lab and the imaging centre what I pay them. I take nothing on tests, so the only thing deciding whether you have one is whether you need it.
The price you join at is the price you keep.
Whatever you pay when you join is held for two years. After that it rises with inflation and nothing else. It never resets to whatever the current rate happens to be. That hold is written into your membership terms, not just promised on a page.
Try the whole thing
You can try the whole thing and pay nothing.
Start with the Assessment at £995. Half a day, one doctor, and a written plan for the next ten years. If you join the practice within ninety days, that fee comes off your membership in full. And if the first ninety days of membership don't convince you, I refund the membership fee, less only the lab and imaging costs already spent. You keep the assessment and you keep the plan.
The only thing you can lose here is the time it takes to find out.
A practice of fifty
There are fifty places. The fit has to be right.
I look after fifty adults and no more, so I can be fully present for each one. The first step is a conversation, where we both find out whether this is the right place for you, and whether we can work well together.
Common questions
The questions people actually ask.
What does a private GP do that the NHS can't?
The NHS treats you when you're ill, and it does that well. What it doesn't have is the time to watch your health across the years and act before a problem starts. That's the gap this fills: one doctor who knows you, holds your whole picture, and has the time to get it right. More in what a private GP does that the NHS doesn't.
Is a private GP worth it?
It's worth it if what you want is continuity and time, not just a faster appointment. The value isn't how often you see me. It's that the same doctor tracks the few things that decide your long-term health and catches them early. Is a private GP worth it? walks through how to judge it for yourself.
How much does membership cost?
It's £4,000 a year, or £400 a month, for an individual, and £7,000 a year, or £700 a month, for a household of two adults with every child under 18 included. You pay for my time and judgment, and every test, scan and referral is passed to you at cost with nothing added. Membership and fees has the full detail, and how much a private GP costs in the UK sets out the wider market.
Is this the same as a private health check?
No. A health check is a snapshot sold as a product. This is management. The same doctor watches your numbers over time and acts early, before a number becomes a problem. Health checks and health management are not the same thing explains why that difference matters.
Is it worth it for a family?
For a family it often makes the most sense, because I see what runs through the household and can act early for all of you. When a child is unwell, the alternative is usually a two-week wait for an appointment, or a walk-in with a doctor who has never met them. That's the real comparison, and is a private GP membership worth it for a family? covers it.
