Spa Private Medical is a private GP service with clinics in Cheltenham, Cirencester, Moreton-in-Marsh and Hereford
Spa Private Medical caters for both acute and on-going physical and mental health problems, in adults and children, without the time and budget constraints of the NHS. Standard GP appointments are 30mins. Telephone appointments are 15mins. Patients will be expected to pre-pay by phone for their appointment. Longer appointments, or where equipment is required (eg some visa medicals, minor operations) may need more time but can be discussed when booking.
Investigations such as blood tests are charged for separately (unless part of an 'MOT' medical) & cost varies depending on the tests requested. X rays and other scans (MRI/CT/USS) are generally done at the Nuffield Hospital or Cobalt Unit & again, cost will vary, though the doctor will usually be able to advise on these. Prescriptions are not charged for if part of a consult, but repeat prescription requests online/via phone are charged for.
