Private GP Services

General Practitioners are qualified to provide care and treatment for a wide range of physical, psychological and social concerns, rather than specialising in a specific area.

Primary health concerns that our Private GPs see and treat regularly include:

Common acute illnesses

• Colds
• Flu
• Infections, such as Ear Infections or UTIs
• Tonsilitis
• Appendicitis
• Gastrointestinal illnesses

Chronic illnesses

• Arthritis
• Asthma
• Allergies
• Diabetes
• Heart Disease
• Epilepsy
• Thyroid concerns

Psychological concerns

• Depression
• Anxiety
• Stress
• ADHD
• Loneliness

Musculoskeletal conditions

• Back pain
• Broken bones
• Sprains and strains
• Tendonitis

Your GP may be able to offer immediate treatment and support for your condition, or they may need to refer you for further tests or treatment with a specialist consultant. In cases of chronic health conditions, they may work with other medical professionals to execute your treatment plan.

General Practitioners are often central to family healthcare. They are often one of the first medical professionals women speak to when they first find out they are pregnant, and will continue to provide care throughout pregnancy and after childbirth and into adulthood.

This strong relationship between GPs and their patients is crucial, as often they will have the strongest knowledge of their patients’ medical history.

• Pregnancy including any required vaccinations
• General check-ups
• Common childhood illnesses
• Developmental conditions
• Mental health concerns
• Family wellbeing support

There are a number of vaccinations that children in the UK are recommended to have to prevent several diseases and protect their health.

As well as the UK Childhood Vaccination Programmes, Cadogan Clinic’s GPs are fully trained in the American and European Vaccination Programmes for children, ensuring your children are fully protected wherever they may travel.

Childhood Vaccinations in the UK include:

• 6-in-1 vaccine – Protection against Diphtheria, Hepatitis B, Hib, Polio, Tetanus and Whooping Cough
• Rotavirus vaccine – Preventing against Rotavirus, a common cause of diarrhoea and vomiting
• MenB vaccine – Helps to protect against Meningococcal Group B bacteria which can cause Meningitis and Sepsis
• Pneumococcal vaccine – Preventing Pneumonia, Sepsis and Meningitis as well as Sinusitis and Ear Infections
• MMR vaccine – Protection against Mumps, Measles and Rubella
• 4-in-1 pre-school booster – Provides extra protection against Diphtheria, Polio, Tetanus and Whooping Cough
• HPV vaccine – Protects against the Human Papillomavirus, which is connected to certain cancers
• 3-in-1 teenage booster – Further protection against Tetanus, Diphtheria and Polio
• MenACWY vaccine – Additional protection from Meningitis and Sepsis

Your GP will be able to advise on when each vaccination should be administered and if multiple doses, or boosters, are required at any stage. It is also recommended that you are up to date with your vaccinations before you go to university.

There is a series of vaccinations which are recommended for adults for different reasons. It is important to speak to your GP about whether these may apply to you and the best time to get them for maximum protection.

• Flu vaccine – Given annually to anyone aged 65 and over and to pregnant women during flu season
• Pneumococcal vaccine – One dose at the age of 65
• Shingles vaccine – Two doses to anyone aged 65 and over
• RSV vaccine – One dose for anyone aged 75-79, or for women who are at least 28 weeks into their pregnancy
• COVID-19 vaccine – Given to anyone aged 75 or over annually
• Whooping cough vaccine – For any woman at least 20 weeks pregnant

There are also some vaccinations which are recommended to younger adults if they have a weakened immune system or other underlying conditions.

When travelling to certain countries, there are recommended vaccinations, and some countries may ask for proof of vaccination to travel there. It is important to prepare in advance, as you may need the vaccination a few weeks before you travel to maximise protection.

The vaccinations you require will vary depending on the country you are visiting, and the activities you are taking part in or the environments you may be exposed to. Cadogan Clinic’s GPs are all trained in the latest travel vaccination advice and will be able to provide any paperwork you need alongside your treatment.

• Polio
• Typhoid
• Hepatitis A
• Hepatitis B
• Cholera
• Japanese Encephalitis
• Tick-borne Encephalitis
• Meningitis
• Rabies
• Tuberculosis
• Yellow Fever

You may also require a course of medication to prevent Malaria. There are several treatment options, and it is essential to discuss your travel plans and medical history with your GP to establish the best one to meet your needs.

Over the last few years, there has been an increasing interest in prescription Weight Loss Medication to help those struggling with stubborn weight gain. While there are many benefits to these medications, for losing weight and improving weight-related health concerns, it is essential that their prescription and treatment are managed and supervised by a qualified medical professional.

Most weight loss medications work by reducing appetite or blocking the absorption of some dietary fats.

Cadogan Clinic’s GPs are trained and highly experienced in administering weight-loss medication treatment plans. They will discuss your concerns and requirements to establish the right medication for your needs:

• Semaglutide – Available as Wegovy, Ozempic
• Liraglutide - Available as Saxenda
• Tirzepatide – Available as Mounjaro
• Orlistat – Available as Xenical

Where appropriate, your GP may recommend that you speak with a Dietitian alongside your weight loss medication to enhance your treatment.

Regular health screening is an effective way of identifying existing health conditions and increased risk of health conditions in individuals, even if they appear healthy. There are several reasons people choose to undergo health screening:

• General health assessment
• Achieving and maintaining fitness goals
• Preparing for a surgical procedure
• Monitoring health risks
• Detecting potential health concerns early, before symptoms appear
• Gaining personalised insights about health and wellbeing

Many patients consider that investment in preventative screening is more cost-effective than having to treat complications from untreated illnesses later in life.

Health screening is designed to be bespoke to you, based on your concerns and requirements. Cadogan Clinic’s Private GPs will put together the right series of tests to give you the best insight into your health.

• Blood tests
• Blood pressure
• ECG test
• Body Mass Index (BMI)
• Body fat percentage
• Urine tests
• Lung function
• Targeted cancer screening
• Lifestyle assessment

Your GP may perform some of these tests themselves or refer you to a specialist if they feel it is necessary. Pathology tests will be taken at the clinic and sent to our partner lab to be analysed. Once your results have been returned, your GP will compile your results to create a personalised report, allowing you to fully understand your results.

If you require any further tests or treatment, your GP will guide you on the best approach and support you to get the correct care.
