The Benefits of Using a Private Healthcare Provider

We want to be honest: we believe the NHS is a remarkable institution, and both our founders have worked within it. But we also know that it is under enormous pressure, and that long waiting times are causing real harm to real people.

What Private Healthcare Can Offer

Speed. The average wait for a GP appointment in England is now over 2 weeks. At BGM Medical, we aim to offer same day GP appointments and ADHD assessments within a week.

Time. A typical NHS GP appointment is 10 minutes. Our appointments are 30 minutes as standard. That means time to actually talk, ask questions, and feel heard.

Continuity. You will see the same doctor, who knows your history and your context.

Specialist access. Our team has specific expertise in ADHD, women's health, pre operative optimisation, and minor surgery, areas where NHS waiting lists can stretch to months or years.

Transparency

We promise never to upsell you something you don't need. Our pricing is published openly, and if something is outside our remit, we will tell you honestly rather than string you along.

Is It for Everyone?

Private healthcare isn't the right answer for every situation. Complex emergencies, major surgery, and certain specialist conditions are better served by NHS pathways. We will always tell you if that's the case.
