Video Consultations

Private GP video consultations

A private GP, on your screen — often the same day. GMC-registered, CQC-regulated care from a real doctor. Book a slot, join a private video call, and get a written outcome afterwards. No waiting room.

Care you can trust

Seen by a doctor, not a portal

GMC-registered GP

Every consultation is with a fully registered, practising doctor — never a chatbot or a triage form.

CQC-regulated

Northwest Health is registered with the Care Quality Commission and works to its safety standards.

Joined-up care

If you need bloods, a scan or physio, the same team can arrange it — all under one roof in Preston.

Video consultations are suitable for many but not all conditions; if the doctor feels you need to be seen in person or urgently, they'll advise you. This service is not for emergencies — if you have a medical emergency, call 999.

FAQs

Common questions

How do I join the video call?
When you book, you'll receive an instant confirmation with a private video link and appointment details. Click your link at the appointment time and the GP joins you.
Can I get a prescription or sick note by video?
Yes, where clinically appropriate. Our GPs can issue private prescriptions for medication legal for a GP to prescribe in the UK, and private fit notes accepted by most UK employers.
Is video suitable for my problem?
Video suits many but not all conditions. If the doctor feels you need to be seen in person or urgently, they'll advise you — and you can be seen at our Bamber Bridge clinic, with on-site imaging and bloods.
How much does it cost?
From £50 per appointment. Clear, one-off pricing — no membership, no subscription. Telephone and in-person appointments are also available; exact fees are shown at the point of booking.
Is this an emergency service?
No. If you have a medical emergency, call 999. Video consultations are for non-emergency private GP care.
