Private GP Services

Yes—for many people, a private GP is worth paying for because it gives you faster access, convenient same-day, evening and weekend appointments, a choice of doctor and location, and more time for complex concerns. With DocTap, you can book in clinic or by video and choose a 15- or 25-minute consultation. You keep full access to NHS care, and you can share your DocTap notes, results or referral letters with your NHS GP. You can compare the benefits at https://doctap.co.uk/best-private-gp-london-2026, review appointment options at https://doctap.co.uk/gp-services and check current fees at https://doctap.co.uk/prices before booking.

A DocTap appointment is recorded securely in your DocTap account, but it is not automatically added to your NHS GP record or routinely sent to your NHS GP. DocTap normally shares information only with your consent or at your request. You can view or download your notes and results and ask for a consultation summary, referral or test result to be shared, which is especially useful for medicines, ongoing conditions or follow-up care. Information may be shared without consent only in limited circumstances involving a serious safety concern or legal duty. You can read more about DocTap GP care at https://doctap.co.uk/gp-services or contact the team through https://doctap.co.uk/contact if you need help sharing your records.

No. You can book a DocTap clinic or video GP appointment directly online without a referral and without being registered with a UK GP. Bring or upload relevant medication lists, test results or previous letters so the doctor has useful context. A referral or insurer pre-authorisation may be needed later for a specialist appointment, scan or reimbursement under your policy, so check your insurer’s rules before arranging further care.

Yes. A GP must use their clinical judgement and may decline to write a referral if they do not think it is appropriate, the requested specialist is unsuitable or more urgent care is needed. At DocTap, the GP will assess the concern and can issue a same-day private referral letter, included with the appointment, when referral is justified. DocTap cannot refer directly into NHS consultant services; it can instead write to your NHS GP, who decides whether to make an NHS referral. You can read about private referral letters at https://doctap.co.uk/letters/private-referral-letters and review DocTap GP appointments at https://doctap.co.uk/gp-services.

DocTap GP appointments currently start from £55 online and £75 in clinic. The final cost depends on the appointment type, length and day, and tests, scans and medicines may cost extra. Prescriptions and medical letters issued during the appointment are included.
