What is AccessGP and how does it work?
AccessGP is a private online GP service offering video and telephone consultations, blood tests, lifestyle assessments, and more — all from the comfort of your home.
Who can use AccessGP’s private GP service?
We currently provide services to individuals aged 18 and over in England.
Do AccessGP’s private GP’s see children or young people?
At present, AccessGP services are available for adults aged 18 years and over. This is because children – especially infants and toddlers – often benefit from a face-to-face assessment to ensure the safest care.
Will AccessGP offer GP services for children in the future?
We know families would find this helpful, and we are actively exploring safe ways to extend our services to younger patients. Keep an eye on our website or follow us on social media for updates.
How much does an AccessGP private GP consultation cost?
Consultations start from just £55. This includes a thorough medical review and, if needed, follow up-advice and prescriptions issued (the cost of the medication and any pharmacy fee is not included).
Can I get a private prescription from AccessGP?
Yes. Prescriptions can be sent securely to a verified pharmacy following your private online GP appointment. The cost of the prescription medication itself is not included in your consultation fee as this is paid to the pharmacy. We are not a pharmacy and we do not dispense medication ourselves.
We work with trusted pharmacy to also deliver medication securely, fulfilled by registered and established UK pharmacy QuickMeds.
How does a private blood test work?
Choose a test online and we’ll arrange a clinic visit or home phlebotomy visit with our trusted partners. Within a few clicks, you can choose a bespoke blood test profile. Results are reviewed with you in a free GP consultation included in all packages.
See our Blood Testing page for further information.
Do AccessGP offer weight loss treatments?
Yes, we offer a weight loss service which is GP led and holistic with a lifestyle based approach. For utmost safety, a video consultation is required for weight loss treatments or prescribed injections. We will be available to follow up with your weight loss journey each month at your convenience. Be sure to book a video consultation if you wish to discuss weight loss treatments.
Can I request specific blood or stool tests?
Absolutely. We work with accredited labs to be able to refer for specific tests. For a bespoke test, this should be discussed in a GP consultation. Book here and discuss with a GP today!
Do AccessGP treat all conditions?
We only treat conditions suitable for remote consultation. There are certain conditions we cannot treat, see here.
In an emergency, call 999 or go to your closest Emergency Department.
