Home visiting GP · North London
Home visit GP across North London.
Sometimes coming to a clinic is the last thing you need. A home visit brings a GP to you — an unhurried, 60-minute consultation in your own home, across North London from our base in Palmers Green. Suitability is assessed first, and the fee is confirmed when you book.

Who we visit
When a home visit makes sense.
Older and frail patients, anyone housebound, poorly children — and anyone for whom travelling to a clinic is difficult or unwise.
Housebound patients
For people who cannot easily leave home, with the same time and attention as a clinic visit.
Unwell children
A calmer option for a poorly child than a waiting room, seen in familiar surroundings.
Busy households
When taking time out to travel and wait is not realistic, the GP comes to you.
After hospital
A review at home after a discharge, to check progress and agree next steps.
Carers and families
Support and a clear plan for families looking after a relative at home.
What it is
A GP who comes to you.
A home visit brings unhurried GP care to your door. It is the sensible choice when getting to a clinic is hard, or when someone is too unwell to travel. Every visit is carried out by a GMC-registered GP, and Clinique Alpa is registered with the Care Quality Commission (CQC).
The visit is a full consultation, not a quick look in — a 60-minute appointment to take a careful history, examine you and agree a clear plan. Where clinically appropriate after assessment, we arrange blood tests, write a referral or provide a sick note. With your consent we send a short summary to your NHS GP.
- 01
Suitability assessed first. We check that a home visit is the right and safe option — tell us your postcode and what you need, and we will confirm that we can reach you.
- 02
Sometimes the clinic is the quicker option. Where travelling to us is manageable, a 30 minute in-clinic consultation is £100.
- 03
Care that joins up with the rest. If something is better dealt with in clinic at 466 Green Lanes, Palmers Green, or by a specialist, we will say so and arrange it.
