Private GP · Kent
Everyone depends on you. Nobody is watching you.
Your family, your business, the people who ring you when it goes wrong. You hold all of it together, and not one part of the system is looking at whether you're holding up. I'm the doctor whose job is that.
Where to start
Start at the first step. Each one pays for the next.
-
Step one
The First Visit
£550
An evening at your kitchen table. I read everything you already own: old bloods, hospital letters, two years of nights on your wrist. You keep the summary.
-
Step two
The Assessment
£1,750
Half a day with one doctor. The full panel, an unhurried examination, and a written plan for the next ten years. Yours whether you go further or not.
-
Step three
Membership
£4,800 a year
A doctor who knows your history, answers when you call, and looks after your family. Fifty adults and no more.
Two other ways in, if the ladder isn't yours.
- The Bio-Audit. A forensic read on whether your biology is keeping up with your work. Your company can pay and never sees the results.
- Sentinel. Hormone and performance-compound monitoring, for men already on treatment.

In writing
Four things that are written down, not promised.
Membership is £4,800 a year for one adult, or £480 a month, and £8,400 a year for a household of two, or £840 a month. Two children under 18 are included, then £50 a month for each additional child.
Before you weigh those figures, here is what is fixed.
Every fee comes off the next.
The First Visit comes off the Assessment in full. Join within thirty days of receiving your written plan and the Assessment comes off your membership too.
You can try the whole thing and pay nothing.
If the first ninety days don't convince you, I refund every penny you've paid me. Only the laboratory costs stay with the lab. You keep the assessment and you keep the plan.
The price you join at is the price you keep.
Held for three years. After that it rises with inflation and nothing else, and never resets to the current rate. That hold is in your membership terms rather than on a page.
Every test at cost.
One fee covers me, and it covers your annual panel. Anything beyond it passes through at what the laboratory charges me, and nothing is ordered until you have seen the figure.
I earn the same whether I investigate you or reassure you.
What is missing
Nobody is holding your health.
Almost all of it already exists, in four places, held by four organisations that don't talk to each other.
None of it is held together. Nobody notices when one part starts disagreeing with another, and nobody rings you.
That's the job. And when a big decision lands, I'm already on your side of the table.
You keep your NHS GP. This sits alongside the NHS, not instead of it.
The Long View
Normal is a range. You need a direction.
One blood test tells you where you sit against an average of a mixed population, the well and the unwell together. It says nothing about which way you are going, and the direction is the part you can act on.
So it is the same set every year, chosen one by one, read by the same doctor. What the Assessment measures, and why each test earns its place.
"Personal and holistic. Understanding the whole picture, not a figures-only approach, and listening rather than working to a threshold."
Who you would be trusting
One doctor, and you always get him.
I work in both the NHS and the private system, and I have done the whole of my career in Kent. Fifty adults and no more, so there is no team to be handed round and no one else reading your results.
Common questions
The questions people actually ask.
What does a private GP do that the NHS can't?
The NHS treats you when you're ill, and it does that well. What it doesn't have is the time to watch your health across the years and act before a problem starts. That's the gap this fills: one doctor who knows you and holds the whole picture. More in what a private GP does that the NHS doesn't.
Should I start with membership or the Bio-Audit?
Membership is a doctor for the whole of your life and your family's. The Bio-Audit is a one-off forensic read on whether your biology is keeping up with what you're asking of it, and your company can pay for it without seeing results, findings or attendance.
Do I keep my NHS GP?
Yes. Nothing here changes your NHS registration, and I'll write to your NHS GP if you want, so the two records agree. This sits alongside the NHS rather than replacing it, and it isn't urgent, emergency or out-of-hours care: for that you still call 999 or 111.
Longer answers are in the journal, and the rest are answered on the membership page.
A practice of fifty
There are fifty places. The fit has to be right.
Fifty adults and no more, so I can be fully present for each one. When the book is full it stays full until someone leaves. It starts with an evening at your kitchen table.
The Long View, in two pages.
The few things that actually decide how long and how well you live, and how to tell the signal from the noise. I'll send it to you now.
