FAQs
-
Harrogate Private GP have recognised that currently the NHS is reducing the availability for home visits and we also recognise that patients value this type of contact with their GP. Shortly we will be able to offer consulting room face to face appointments but want to meet the demand for this type of patient contact initially. Sign up to our newsletter to be kept informed.
-
You do need to remain registered with your usual GP. This ensures you don’t miss out on screening tests, reviews and offers of immunisation. You can have part of your care with a private GP as you wish providing this is appropriate to do so. We will ensure your GP is kept informed of things and liaise with them directly. One of the aims of Harrogate Private GP is to try and reduce some of the pressure on your NHS GP as well and NOT increase their workload.
-
It remains within the NHS constitution that if you are entitled to a test on the NHS or investigation a private GP can arrange this for you without requesting your usual NHS GP to do this. Locally, however, this is not currently possible. We are working on this for our patients. At present we can offer private testing at competitive rates direct with laboratories.
We aim to offer the highest standard of clinical care at Harrogate Private GP and as such we follow national guidelines on clinical tests and investigations. You can discuss any questions you have about tests and investigations at your appointment.
We are not able to offer any tests or investigations without an appointment first to discuss your particular health needs.
Should you wish for a test or investigation that is not routinely offered or would not be indicated for your health needs this may be offered privately - however this would require discussion with your private clinician at the time of the request.
-
Private GPs are able to refer into the NHS if a referral would be indicated for that need had you seen an NHS GP. We are currently exploring whether Harrogate Hospital will accept referrals directly or whether we need to liaise with your NHS GP.
If you wish this to be a private referral we are also able to request this and this can be discussed at the time. Obviously most private referrals usually are faster and you can generally choose the clinician you see. If an NHS referral is not appropriate your private GP will discuss this with you and offer a private referral as appropriate.
