Finding time to look after your health isn't always easy. You may need advice quickly, have symptoms that have been troubling you for some time, or simply want more time to discuss your health properly.
At Evergreen Medical & Wellness Clinic in Morningside, Edinburgh, our private GP service gives you time with an experienced doctor in a calm, welcoming environment, with appointments designed to fit more easily around your life.
Private GP care doesn't need to replace your NHS GP. Instead, it can complement your existing healthcare by providing quicker access, longer consultations and additional support when you need it.
When Might You See a Private GP?
There are many reasons you might choose to book a private GP appointment, including:
- A new or ongoing health concern
- An urgent but non-emergency illness
- Persistent or unexplained symptoms
- Medication reviews
- Management of an existing condition
- Women's health concerns
- Preventative health and health checks
- A second opinion
- Further tests or specialist referrals
At Evergreen, our longer GP appointments allow time to understand your concerns, consider the wider picture and agree on appropriate next steps.
Same-Day GP Appointments for Urgent Illness
Not every health concern is an emergency, but sometimes you don't want to wait to speak to a doctor.
A same-day private GP appointment in Edinburgh can be helpful for non-emergency concerns such as infections, abdominal symptoms, headaches, dizziness, rashes, ear or sinus problems, or a flare-up of an existing condition.
Your GP can assess your symptoms, perform an examination, arrange appropriate tests and prescribe treatment where required.
Where symptoms require urgent hospital treatment, we'll advise you on the safest next steps.
Private GP care is not a substitute for emergency services. Always call 999 or seek emergency care for serious or life-threatening symptoms.
More Time for Ongoing Symptoms
Persistent symptoms don't always have a straightforward explanation.
Fatigue, digestive problems, headaches, hormonal changes, sleep problems, weight changes, pain or simply feeling that something isn't quite right may require a more detailed discussion.
A longer private GP consultation provides time to review your symptoms, medical history and previous investigations together.
Rather than simply ordering more tests, your doctor can consider what has already been investigated, identify any gaps and decide whether further testing, monitoring, treatment or referral would be helpful.
Tests, Prescriptions and Specialist Referrals
Where clinically appropriate, your Evergreen GP can help arrange further investigations and treatment.
This may include:
- Blood and urine tests
- ECGs and other diagnostic investigations
- Imaging referrals
- Private prescriptions
- Specialist referrals
- Sick notes
- Follow-up appointments
With your consent, we can also communicate with your NHS GP where appropriate, helping to keep your care connected.
